The collection that I have been sewing with is Winter Forest!
 |
I have really enjoyed the fun wintry prints in this line!
Here are all of the fabrics in the bundle I received:
For my project, I cut 3.5" strips of each fabric to make strip pieced patchy placemats. I used the equivalent of 24 - 3.5" squares in each placemat top in a 6x4 arrangement.
I was actually able to cut enough from my strip sets to make six placemats plus a little extra! Here are the first four placemat tops sewn up and ready to be quilted!
For all of the placemats, I used the same light snowflake print for the backing and the blue bear paw print for the binding. For the quilting I used a light grey Aurifil thread to quilt meanders across each placemat. For the binding, I used the same grey thread in the bobbin, but used a cobalt blue 28 wt. Aurifil thread to do the final binding top-stitching.
While this set of wintry placemats won't get used right away, I definitely will be making more placemats this quick and easy way!
And now onto the giveaways! Hooray!
