My New Problem
I've been buying a bit of nice fabric lately (from Modern Organic Fabrics!), but I'm so torn! I don't want to cut it all up! I feel like I've got to spare it! Of course, I know how silly this is! What good is all of this beautiful fabric is it's holed up in the purple room?
So I decided I had to do something with it. I decided to showcase these adorable My Happy Garden Prints by Michele Engel Bencsko as placemats for our farm table! I'm so happy with how they came out!
This was also my first attempt at freemotion quilting, and while I had a few spots where it buckled on me, I'm pretty proud that I did it without someone showing me how!
What pretty fabrics have you been using lately?

Oh, those look great!
I have been using my Anna Maria Horner fq's lately, but I have the same problem with all my "real" fabric. Most of what I buy is thrifted, that is a bit easier to cut into, but those fat quarters I won last year? Still waiting to be used...
Thanks for visiting my blog today! The place mats look great and I am impressed with the free motion. I haven't tried yet. Did you attach binding to them?
Those are sweet and as placemats, you get to enjoy the fabric daily! The quilting came out beautifully and your home is just gorgeous!

Thank you so much for the kind words! I've got another idea brewing for this sweet fabric ;) I'll post about it when I get a moment!
