Love the shape of these placemats. I've made them up following your easy to follow directions. Each day I discover a new way to place them on the table as a centre piece. I'll happily make them up again.

[@pamarmitage4048]

Alison White do you have the written directions for cutting out?

[@marcellajohnston743]

Thank you. I love my Annie's Fat Quarters. This is one of my favorite fabrics. Annie's is the best. I made an error in cutting; contacted them and they replaced the entire package. I wasn't expecting this. I asked how I could pay for the 2 pieces; they replaced the entire thing free. WOW! Great customer service. I love your videos, Laura

[@SewVeryEasy]

I know! the customer service is great!!! Glad it worked out for you

[@hexabob57]

I made several sets of these for our Family Reunion Raffle. They were a big Hit! I just ordered another fat quarter bundle to make some for this year's Reunion.... whenever we get to have it, LOL

[@cek7940]

I love the hydrangeas fabric and I really loved the way you arranged the placements at the end, great job Laura!!

[@stitchinginthebarn8307]

These are beautiful! I can't believe I missed these 2 years ago but I was very busy at the time. Thanks for sharing!

[@tlsnana9539]

I love your recent color choices. I guess I really like green. Thank you for showing place mats.

Congrats on your Silver KZbin award in the background! :) Love Placemats. It is a great way to use your fabric stash and also to easily change up your table for the seasons! Thanks for the tutorials!

Love the “flower pin” marking tip

Marking the flathead pins is genius! Thanks for that tip alone...

Love the prints! Exceptionally ingenious and fun ways of sewing these awesome placemats!Thanks for the great 👍 tutorials!

[@mgs783]

Uniquely shaped placemats with a fun twist! Annie’s monthly 6 fat quarter bundle w/pattern is a bit cost prohibitive for me however, the fabric seems very nice ~ perhaps one day I’ll splurge and give her service a try. Hopefully you’ll be able to post the link for your placemat tutorial . Thanks for sharing another super project❣️

Love the color schemes and what versatile layout designs ! Great tutorial!

[@anndalynnketellapper8296]

Hey Laura, I don’t remember where I bought it, but I have that exact top, but in white!!! Now I’ll finish watching your video, 😁

[@tomib6186]

Finally found the pattern I’ve been searching for.

[@denisepineda1788]

Wow, that is an interesting shaped place mat. It is neat how you can then put it together as a table topper though.

[@jeffehuls8986]

I am a novice sewer. I have done an done a tone of sewing for my kids halloween costumes, made clothes for myself and my kids, made drapes, etc. Most of the time, I just feel I am faking my way through most projects and I have made them work. I am good at following directions. I came across Laura a couple months ago and I subscribed. I love the posts for all the reasons that everyone else has stated. So I decided to tackle this challenge. I carefully measured and cut everything with my clear rulers and my rotary cutting mat, and I sewed and pressed the hems as suggested. However, when I went to square my blocks, the best I could get was a 7" block. So, needless to say my placemats will be adorning my tiny kids table. I am committed to figuring out what I did wrong. I used a 1/4 inch seam allowance, is this not correct? Did I stretch the pieces as I sewed them? Did I press them in a way that caused them to stretch and warp? Did I buy cheap cotton fat quarters online and they didn't keep their shape? I am at a loss.The obvious answer to me would be the seam allowance, but when I go back and measure, they are all 1/4 inch. Am I missing something? Please help, anyone!!!

You break it down so well, that the project becomes “easy” to follow and complete. I love the color combination you used in today’s project. What do you do with all you little bits of “extra” fabric?

Thanks and I do try to make scrappy quilts with them.

On the backing- to confirm- it is one yard for each placemat. 1/2 yard binding per placemat. Did you use any fusing in between the front and back fabrics? Thank You!

If I remember correctly is is for all four :)

Happy Friday Laura! Thanks for another fabulous idea and video. Can you provide the finished dimensions for the placemat? I tried freezing the screen and counting but was unsuccessful. Many thanks and happy quilting from the beautiful Bruce Peninsula, Canada
