Hello from the Little Penguin house!
I have a scrappy placemat in pink to share today! I started this month with dumping out the scraps from the pink bin and this was the photo.
There was even an already made block!
So, as I do each month, I just kept sewing and trimming and adding more until I had some crumb slabs that would make the right size for a placemat.
There were even a few leftover quarter star blocks in pink!
Once I had my desired 12.5 x 16.5 size, I layered it up and quilted with a square spiral. That was fun! Nothing marked, just chose a spot to begin with a tiny square, and then kept going round and round.
Remember the dots I used to bind the red placemat last month? Well, there are more of them, and these on pink looked like a good choice for this month's finish.
Voila!
