Now that it's getting toward the end of July, I thought I would share my Table Scraps project for the month today. You can see more about this fun challenge over at the Joyful Quilter's blog, right here. Joy has added the additional challenge of incorporating a couple letters of the alphabet into our project - for July: A and G.
Since the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color for July is red, I AGain (see what I did there?!) dug into my orphan block pile, and pulled out this one, left over from the 2020 Color Challenge.
I decided to make another placemat out of this one, and to enlarge it to 12 x 16, I added a piece of the strawberry print I originally bought for this little project earlier in the year. Other placemats I've made this year have had a strip added to each side of the main block - this time I added a larger strip to only one side to offset the center block.
Thinking back, I was working on this around the 4th of July,
and must have been in flag mode!
Some more strawberries for the backing and the red gingham check print for binding made this one a quick finish!
Of course, this put me in the mood for some strawberries!
This summery, strawberry placemat has been a fun one to use!

ReplyDeleteSo cute! I just never think about making placemats, but it's a clever small project.
ReplyDeleteDigging into your orphan block bin AGain was a stretch, Diann. I'll give you an A for effort and you've got Green leaves on that RED strawberry fabric! Thanks for playing along with the ABC (Table) SCRAPS Challenge. :o))
