Quilted Christmas Placemats
I saw some of these round pieced and quilted placemats on Pinterest and decided to make some for a Christmas gift.
I used a store bought round placemat for the pattern. It measures 15″ across. They are made with 3 fabrics and batting. Using 2 of your fabrics, cut into 5-1/2″ squares and then sewn them together into a 9-patch. The 3rd fabric is used for the backing.
Using your round pattern cut a batting and backing piece.
Layer the wrong sides together with the batting in between.
Press, pin really well and baste together along the edge.
Trim away excess on the 9-patch.
Machine quilt through all layers by stitching in the ditch.
Make bias binding cutting 2-1/4″ strips on the bias and sewing end to end.
