One more red project for March

I finished a scrappy red placemat this week, continuing with my goal of making one in each color of the month for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.  

Small red bits from my scrap bin were sewn into larger squares and then rectangles until I had enough to fill a 12.5 x 16.5 slab.


When deciding what to use for a backing, I came across a yard of this cute polka dot that seemed perfect!


I liked it so much that I decided to use it for the binding, too.  These placemats make a fun and satisfying finish each month!


Here's the Rainbow, so far!

Wondering now what color we'll be adding in April!

You can have two extra people for dinner now that you have four placemats. Nice finish. I’m ready to tackle the next RSC colour. Gail at the cozy quilter

Seeing your rainbow collection is so satisfying. The polka dots are a great binding for your red placemat.
