Coffee-Themed Placemats

Sorry for disappearing for a while there.  It's been a tad busy here - partly with the boys, partly with other  stuff.  Stuff like ... painting.  Oh, not like painting...

I mean like painting...

You know ... as in Ask Sherwin-Williams.  In my opinion, my painting leaves a bit to be desired, though my husband was incredibly complimentary of my efforts.  Almost frighteningly so...

Anyway, I have finished some quilty stuff.  Let's start today with some scrappy placemats.  These were just to do something constructive with coffee-themed scraps - check out how cute they look on the kitchen table:

I love how they came out! (Please ignore the mess out on the screened-in deck; we have some work going on out there!)

Both mats are different:

Fun, aren't they?!?  I did a "quilt as you go" deal on them and really had no plan other than to use my scraps!  I made them a bit wider than most placemats, just to give the table a bit more coverage.

I used the same fab on both backs:

As you can see, I also used scraps for the bindings!  Why not, right!?!  I made two more placemats that are from the same scrap piles, but are a bit more colorful -- I'm still sewing the bindings on them but will share once I'm done!

Tune back in again soon to see what else I've been working on!

Thanks for reading!
