Fun 4th Placemats!

June 23, 2022 by Judy

These placemats will make your table sing a patriotic march every time you look at it!

Placemats measure 15” x 19” finished

Materials:

1/3 yard navy blue print fabric

1 1/8 yard red print fabric

5/8 yard binding fabric

Scraps of batting fabric measuring 16” x 20” or 5/8 yards of 72” wide batting

Backing fabric 1 1/4 yard

Cutting:

Red print-4 rectangles 15” x 19”

Blue print-2 squares 12” x 12” subcut each one time on the diagonal to yield total of 4 triangles

Batting: 4 rectangles 16” x 20”

Backing 4 rectangles 16” x 20”

Binding: 2 strips each per placemat 2 1/2” x width of fabric

Make the placemats:

  1. On the red print rectangle, measure 11” from the upper left corner and make a mark.
  2. Measure 3 inches from the bottom left corner up the left side and make a mark.
  • Using a quilting ruler or straight edge, connect the marks.

Draw a line between the marks, using the straight edge.

Lay the hypotenuse of the blue triangle (the long side opposite the right angle) along the line, right sides together.

Stitch a 1/4” seam along the diagonal edge.

Turn the triangle right sides out and press.

Layer with the batting and backing.

Quilt the placemats.

Bind the placemats in your favorite manner.
