easter goodness

I started these placemats way back in November, and like most of my projects, they languished untouched for several months before I came back to them.

I can't remember where the inspiration for them came from, it was a magazine that's hiding somewhere in my house.

I used a jelly roll from JoAnn for the prints and the binding, and matching fat quarters for the backings and napkins.

At our March Quilt Guild meeting, we made napkins, and I used a simple tutorial for hemming the edges and mitering the corners. (Actually, the tute was Greek to me until Jane explained it. Thanks, Jane!)

(probably need to iron them before using them!)

Our Easter placemats looked great on the table!
