Scrappy Patchwork Placemat

September 12, 2014 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 11 Comments

Scrappy Patchwork Placemat by A Spoonful of Sugar

After a busy day at work, some simple sewing at night can be very therapeutic. There is something about repetitive sewing that is so relaxing.

Scrappy projects are now easier than ever with my newly organised fabric scraps.  For this scrappy placemat, I combined some 2 1/2 inch fabric scraps alternated with white homespun. The fabric is from the Picnics and Fairgrounds range from DS Quilts.

Pretty and practical, my favourite type of sewing.

    Oh how wonderful these are!! I just bought Christmas squares and didn’t know what to do….now I need red, green, and gold fabric to do what you did. Maybe I need four colors to even out the strips?
    Thanks for sharing!!!!

      Christmas placemats would be fun to make Gay! I must add them to my Christmas sewing list. You could use as many colours as you like.
