My goal for 2021 is to create a placemat each month which combines the RSC colour of the month (which is blue for April), the Table Scraps Challenge, and includes some miniature blocks. April's placemat is a celebration of blue Ohio Star block variations.
And I made 3 sweet little 2" star blocks. Working with miniature blocks really makes my heart sing!
I set the mini stars on point and placed them in the centre of the design. The machine quilting is a very simple stitch in the ditch, and a single wavy line in the outside border.
The finished size of the placemat is 17" x 14".

Wow those tiny squares!! Love the ideas you have
Your table scraps challenge mat is lovely! This is such a great idea.
My heart sings too, when looking at your mini blocks. I love them, the smaller, the better.
Your mat is beautiful and I love your mini blocks.
placemats are a good idea I noticed that on someone else's blog but hadn't done it - I might need to do that next year for RSC
Wow, those tiny blocks are amazing! Did you piece them in the usual manner or are they paper pieced?
Love the tiny stars, and that pretty blue you're using! Fun!
