Finished 4 St. Patrick’s placemats for our own use. All the fronts were from scraps and I used one piece of fabric for the back, which also made it easier to quilt them all at once.
My prayer is that each of you will have a very restful and safe weekend.

It appears that I will have to work harder if I’m going to get anywhere near this goal. I will be making some more of the coin quilts in the coming week because they go together fast and I can use dark colors for the homeless men.

I have made so many sets of quilt-as-you-go strip pieced placemats, I have lost count. They became my official wedding shower gift when a friend’s oldest daughter had a wedding shower and I needed a present. A friend had taught the process in a class at 4-H Super Saturday where we made either a cosmetic bag or a single sample placemat. My daughter and I tried the cosmetic bag but the placemat caught my interest, too. I made a set after the class and just kept on making them. I have a half size Hanukkah Jelly Roll that is supposed to get made up into placemats. Maybe those need to be an OMG. ;) Thanks for the inspiration to return to my intentions.
