Place Mats

I used the same batik on all of these and two fabrics I have been looking at for a long time.
I also started making these this past November.
I have discovered I dislike doing the final binding join. A case of final binding join avoidance, lives here.




The whole cloth idea  for placemats came  to me after making these very busy vegetable stew style place mats.

Bon Appetite.

Jelly Roll Rug

Something different for the New Year.  All the aspects of quilting and the result is a rug.

This little rug is made from a "Jelly Roll".
It is about 30" by 40".
A jelly roll consists of  2.5 "  wide strips, the width of fabric (usually 42 " ), 42 of them.
The batting used was also precut and on a roll.
Just a bit spendy, however it was fun and quick.

Considering the volume of folded fabric and the amount of stitching, this should be able to take a
lot of wear. I hope.

I will make another but not with precuts, 😉'the stash'  has enough for me to cut a jelly roll's worth.
Happy Quilting,
Gudrun
