February Placemats

 This month, between all of my other projects, I have been working away on my teal and aqua placemats.




I made four darker turquoise.  I sure had a lot of odd triangles in this color that I just incorporated in with all the strings and such.




I also made four in some lighter aqua shades.  The top right is one I made with some orphan bits I already had on hand.




Once I finished all the placemats in this month's RSC color, I decided to pull a bunch of scraps from my overflowing brown bin.  I have already finished two!



The stack is growing quickly.  I already have over 60 completed.  
Next time I will need to photograph next to a ruler.

I always get asked the same questions.  I trim these mats to 11 x 15".  My plan is to donate all of these to Meals on Wheels in November so they can get handed out with one of the holiday meals. 

I love that each one has their own character!

I was wondering where you were donating all the placemats - what a great idea - Meals on Wheels! They will be sure to cheer up those that need help.

Gorgeous! I love that pile! I'm making placemats for Meals on Wheels also, but I only have a pile of 2 so far this year! LOL

Chantal said...

Gosh! You are fast. I barely had time to make one placemat this month. I need longer months, lol. Well done, Cynthia. ;^)

what a wonderful idea and gift to meals on wheels. People will feel special getting them and happy to see the pretty colors in their homes

Your placemats are so jolly. Using one for your Meals on Wheels food would make it a more cheerful occasion, I’m sure. That will be a huge number to donate.
