THANK YOU ALL for the great comments.

It was sew fun to sew right next to the girls. They each took a turn sewing a strip on and then ironing.
So proud they stayed with it to the end. Towards the end they were requesting a faster sewing machine
but the mom would gently talk them out of it.
There are 10 of us making these quilts. The gal coordinating this project is a former quilt shop owner.
She provided most of the fabric(she has a huge stash ) and put all fabrics into kits, sew all we had to
do is start sewing. These quilts are going to an Orphange in South America. They are light weight because
of the heat and bugs. A little gal from our church is teaching at a private school in Venezuela and she is leading
us from her point.

I'll try post again from the next sew day.

Rita your placemats are very happy. Thanks for sharing.

Have a good one

Renata OFFLINE Posts: 2673 Thank you received: 260	Your placemats look fun--great for spring or summer, or whenever you want to brighten up a rainy or snowy day, eh? You are right, what a great way to practice FMQ! Come to think of it, I need some placemats!

Reetzbobeetz OFFLINE Posts: 4193 Thank you received: 209	This is my first finished project for 2013. Not a quilt but placemats. And groovy placemats at that! The fabric on the top is Ikea upholstery fabric and the binding is one of their plain cottons. The fabric on the back is one of their lightweight cottons. They were fun and cheap to make and a great way to practice FMQ. Far Out Man! Attachment 3923_P1200007.JPG not found

It is quilt as you go method. Our quilt group hope to make 40 of these to send to South America. The two girls (9 years old) made the quilt they are holding up. My cat (Lenny) thought he should be in the middle of things.
