Here's the first placemat under construction.
Since I took this photo, I've sewn the rows together on this one and pieced another one as well.
I did have to cut out a few more squares as I wanted each placemat to be made of 48 different squares but I used my Go! cutter so cutting out about 50 squares took very little time at all. I have the remaining 4 placemats all pinned and ready to sew so the sewing, quilting and binding of them all should keep me out of mischief over the next few days. :o)
Those will sure be cheerful placemats. That GO cutter sounds like a big timesaver.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jan. The Go! cutter is definitely a timesaver - and maybe a bit of a time-waster as well as I tend to play with it quite a bit! :oD
DeleteThey are going to be great and I have some leftovers from a jelly roll that I might use for same. Won't be as dramatic. I'm interested in seeing your Go cutter and how it works. Anything that is easy on my hands is good.
ReplyDeleteI'll try and do a post about my Go cutter soon, Susan. It was expensive but I don't regret buying it for one minute. :o)
DeleteWhat a good way to use up squares! If the weather is as bad as forecast, I think I will be spending the weekend in the studio, keeping warm and sewing!!
ReplyDeleteI saw that your area was mentioned on the news, Anne, and wondered how you were doing. Keep cosy!
DeleteI can't believe I posted a comment yesterday and it disappeared into the never, never.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great idea for the placemats and I have some pieces from a jelly roll that would look good. I am interested in your Go! cutter, as it sounds interesting. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
Your first comment got dumped in the spam folder, Susan. I have no idea why!
