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".

ReplyDeleteplacemats 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
ReplyDeleteWow, those tiny blocks are amazing! Did you piece them in the usual manner or are they paper pieced?
