I've been sewing up a small storm of small quilt projects. First I used up all the leftover fabric from the St. Patrick's Day placemats project that I showed in my last post. Then I used up some random pastel squares and triangles I had from other projects with some old Easter egg fabric to make a couple Easter themed placemats.
The completed green mini quilts:
Random scraps.
Tiny one inch squares.
Some leftover two inch squares.
More random leftover pieces.
This Easter egg fabric I've had for several years. I made a quilt square as a table centerpiece with it several years ago and I look at it now and wonder what was I thinking. It's so bright!
I used fabric colors that matched the bright colors in the print and they really really stand out. When I decided to do something more with this fabric I choose matching pastel fabric and less of the Easter egg print to tone down the overall effect and these Easter placemats are much calmer.
There are leftover pieces from at least seven different projects in this block.
But the backs of these quilts are bold.
Besides doing holiday themed placemats, I also put together a quick one that my son would like from this neat matrix like fabric. No patchwork here, just neat prints.
Thanks for reading.
