At the beginning of the month I shared a cute elephant print that I thought would be fun in a placemat.
It didn't really make sense to cut it up too small, so I paired it with another orange print, and cut both into 4.5 inch squares. Sewn together like this, it was a quick finish!
I found a light blue/turquoise print for the backing. Some simple quilting and binding and done!
The other placemats I've made this year have been in use on the dining room table, but this one is going right here.
The rainbow is forming!

Nice work on a cute and functional little quilt;)
Very cute elephant print. It looks perfect on the little table.
I can't seem to cut the big, cute prints up either. You picked the perfect size. Love the backing on it. Nice work.
A cheerful placemat -- and of course there's your new Charleston mug!
Love your Charleston mug! It looks so pretty with the oranges and blues - very pretty placemat! I think of you every time we get down our huge TV trays! I am determined to get some placemats made and surprise my husband.
this is such a cute print in orange. I too like your mug! I'm always getting new mugs.
Such a nice addition to your growing collection. I love that elephant fabric. Glad you used bigger pieces to show off the design. So smart!
Such cute elephants & it was fun to see the rainbow growing of fun placemats.
Another neat placemat to add to your rainbow collection--so pretty...
hugs, Julierose
This is a lovely addition to your collection :)
Rainbow placemats, I love it!
Glad to see that you're keeping the ORANGE placemat for yourself, Diann!!
Oh what a cute and fun print! Your latest quilted placemat is an adorable addition to your collection, Diann. Hugs.
So glad you didn't chop up the elephant fabric. It's adorable!!! Love your rainbow of placemats/table mats.
Oh, I am all for quick finishes right now!! Cute placemat, and your rainbow is indeed coming together.
Very Cute! The orange really calls to me for some reason. I am not doing RSC this year -- focusing on finishing some UFOs and quilts recently started, supposedly!
That elephant print paired with the orange print made a fabulous placement!
Those are cute fabrics in the orange placemat. Your collection is growing.
