Here is the latest set of placemats I've completed.
I used a single charm pack of Valley by Sherri & Chelsi.
I've had half-square triangles on my mind, lately, and the color spread in this fabric line was just perfect for chevron.
I decided that these needed some straight-lined quilting, instead of my usual free-motion, and I'm pleased with how it made the design stand-out.
I used a lovely navy from my stash for binding.
For the backing, I found this gray fabric in my stash that had been a gift from a seasoned sewer. <3
I just love seeing the quilting from the back!
Thank you all so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day.

I'm linking up today with TGIFF, Finish it up Friday,
Great placemats! I love your fabrics and design. The quilting really sets off the design, too. Nice finish!
ReplyDeleteHi Summer,
ReplyDeleteOoh, these look so nice. The will make a wonderful tablescape for you or a lucky recipient. The navy binding really makes the colors pop. ~smile~ Roseanne
HST's are so much fun to play with! And placemats are the perfect size to play with. Color, fabrics and quilting...well done!
ReplyDeleteThese are so simple and cute! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are very pretty! Such a great, simple, yet effective design, and the fabric choices are gorgeous! Lovely finish!
ReplyDeleteFun placemats! I use placemats all the time on my table. But, I've made only two sets of them and given as gifts. These seem to be as much work as making a bed quilt. So, I've not made more.
ReplyDeleteThey are stunning! Thanks for linking to Finished or Not Friday
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun finish! I like the fabrics and the simple diagonal quilting is just right!
ReplyDeletethey are just beautiful - i love the colours and the quilting really helps the pattern pop!
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed. I like to make placemats too - both for home and also some for our caravan. And aprons - I'm a great apron maker and wearer as well.
