This week I am celebrating a small finish... but a finish just the same!!
For the Rainbow Scrap Challenge ( hosted at So Scrappy) I have been making placemats out of my Block Box. I have been having a blast Quilting them and trying new patterns and new ideas, without the commitment of a king size quilt!! but!!
Did you know... that if you quilt them - you must bind them? ( oh ya!) and so now!!! my FInish for this week is all of the BLUE ones are Now bound!!
Blue is the Color for April - so according to my trusty pile - I now have Pink ( January), Yellow ( February) and Blue ( April) all bound.... I must not like Green ( March) much - cuz I just passed those on by.... which means - I had better get to binding in green!!
Now it is your turn - Link up your Finishes!!!
**********************************LINK UP*******************************
The placemats will be a lovely treat for the meals on wheels you donate them to. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteThose blue mats are so pretty! I had hoped to link up a finish with you, but I had SO many interruptions yesterday that I didn't get my quilt bound. But I might be able to get it done before the linky ends. :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I often times wish they were finished after the quilting stage!?! Your 10 placemats look so cute grouped together--impact!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats for turning those blocks into some yummy placemats! I know how much you love binding so I'll probably see some green ones finished next week????
ReplyDeleteLots of cool blue placemats! Have a great week !
ReplyDeleteLovely blue placemats. They are perfect to try out new quilting designs. Great job!
ReplyDeleteLove those blues!
ReplyDeleteI made 1 placemat this month so far, it might be the only one!
ReplyDeleteWell done on the binding and finish. They look great, including upside down. LOL
ReplyDeleteNice work on getting those blue placemats bound, Alycia!
ReplyDeleteFantastic work! I love the blues like this!
ReplyDeleteThose are wonderful Alycia! I love making placemats, but ya, I hear you on binding them. I often make the backs a little bigger all the way around and then turn the back over twice onto the front and topstitch it down. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove your pretty blues placemats! So, binding is not your favorite part of the process? Not mine either, especially not hand stitching the binding!
ReplyDeleteso darn pretty alycia....
ReplyDeleteToo bad we don't live closer or I'd bind and let you quilt. See, binding hasn't killed you yet!
ReplyDeleteGood for you. I've been working on making more placemats too.
