Therefore, on Tuesday, I grabbed up some scraps and sewed a bit of patchwork. Some strips were added to bring them up to size. Then they were layered with batting and backing. Next up they were quilted using the walking foot - just because!
The variety of fabrics (scraps) makes these really eye-catching in my opinion. While they aren't exact matches, enough fabrics repeat to make them a nicely cohesive pair. Even the bindings were made of leftover bindings with a couple of scrap pieces to extend them.
My hope is that they will be enjoyed and bring a nice bright spot to a friend's table.

Those placemats are beautiful, Gene. They will add a bit of happiness to the dining area.
These placemats will turn your friend’s simple table into a colorful fabric gallery!
I agree with Jeanna and Barbara - what a wonderful way to use your colorful scraps! I usually envision scrap quilts or "crumb" blocks - and never think of place mats! Thanks for the reminder - ;))
Oh wow....eye catching is the right word, just fabulous...someone will love them for sure.
They are gorgeous and what a perfect replacement for potholders!
Much better than potholders!
