I am continuing with my monthly mini making tradition with the mini quilt makers over at The Constant Quilter again this year. But in 2021, I am adding a challenge inspired by The Joyful Quilter's Table Scraps challenge to create something for a table. My plan is to make a scrappy placemat from small scraps using the RSC colour of the month. Very fun to combine 3 challenges into one project!
Tada... a lovely mostly pink placemat that will be donated to the Meals on Wheels program in my community. I imagine a lovely older woman eating her lunch with this little spark of beauty to cheer her up on long dark winter days in lockdown, and I hope it makes her smile :)
At the end of the month I'll be linking up with The Constant Quilter and The Table Scraps Challenge.

Well damn!
That just about makes you a "Queen" of multi tasking!!
Great fun idea!
Did you come up with the idea to tie in three challenges because you have so much going on, or do you have so much going on because you are so good at tying together challenges? I'll have to ponder that awhile. Either way, this is adorable. It will surely be a day brightener to some housebound senior!
This is just the sweetest mini full of Valentines and love. Your quilting design is wonderful.
Now that is efficiency at its best! One beautiful mini that takes care of 3 stones! I love your quilt and your ingenuity! Thanks for hanging on for another great mini!
Someone is going to thrilled to get this. It's delightful.
I love that, Kathy! Pretty colors in the pinwheels and the other scraps you put with it, and your heart quilting is just perfect. Sweet finish!
I love how you were able to whip this one up and follow 3 challenges at one whack;)))
It is so pretty--I hadn't seen the table scape one--will check it out...
stay safe and warm hugs, Julierose
What a cute way to combine your challenges and make some’s day in the process!
Your placemate will brighten someone's life, it is a beauty, Kathy!
Love those perfect mini pinwheels and the heart quilting
What a fun and beautiful way to tie together all of these quilt challenges. Your machine quilting is the prefect finishing touch.
Kathy, the placemat is lovely! The little pinwheels are so cute. And the quilting is perfect.

I adore the heart quilting. I'm so happy to see so many quilters participating in the Table Scraps challenge. See ya tomorrow at the linky party.
Very cute! The quilting is great, too.
Just lovely, what a pretty placemat and how nice of you to donate it, so someone else will be delighted by it.
So amazing that you are able to combine all those challenges into one lovely project. I am sure that a homebound senior will enjoy her lunch so much more on this beautiful placemat.
What a perfectly PINK way to combine challenges, Kathy!!
Ok, 3 challenges in one project is just..... amazing! What a great placemat and I love that they had aged perfectly for this project.
That placemat is beautiful and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the way you incorporated the hearts in the quilting. I've not seen anything like that before and I'm always on the lookout for new FMQ ideas!
Congrats on a very pretty finish for a very good cause.
What a lovely idea and what a very sweet quilt.
