I am on a mission to work through my Christmas scraps by making some placemats.

These string blocks were pieced and trimmed to 7.5 inches square before sewing 6 of them together to make a placemat.

I like my place mats on the larger size so there is room for the plate, cutlery, and glass without the glass having to sit on the edge of the placemat. This placemat finished at 14.5″ x 21 inches.

Ready for Christmas dinner!
