Sometimes I sew for those who are not part of the kid generation. I guess I still have them in mind, though, as the winter fabric was picked out to make kids smile. These placemats made from the precut squares are so easy to do. Just sew twelve together for each mat in a 3 X 4 rectangle, cut backing and batting a little larger than the mat and quilt. I stippled the mats, then cut away the excess backing and batting. Next I used a print and cut diagonal binding to put around them. Of course they go to the home with the grands. I got them wrapped this morning. On to more sewing!
