The first challenge for this year‘s project quilting challenge was 'A Clean Slate'. Trisha always includes within the first prompt the Pantone colour of the year, which is not even a colour: white aka Cloud Dancer. We were in Cuba up until late Thursday, so, because many American sites are blocked due to the American embargo on Cuba, I did not know what the prompt was until I got back. That left me two days to figure something out. I knew it would have to be a smaller project so I chose to make a couple of placemats.
I’ve made many placemats over the years using this stitch and flip, quilt as you go method that I first saw on Janine‘s blog,
Quilts From the Little House. It’s a great way to use up those proverbial ever present strings, batting scraps, and make a useful item.
