Today is the fifth Saturday of June of the color blue. I missed reporting the first Saturday, so today is my day to showcase the Meals on Wheels place mats that I have been making this year.
Now this challenge was definitely a challenge. The theme of the Table Scraps June 2024 is watermelon. To me, blue and watermelon just don't mix. I did 'see' watermelon fabric on blue background...YES! That would work BUT the idea is to try and use what you have.
After trolling Pinterest, I found this image and thought I could make it work.
Next, I used blue as the background!
I quilted wavy lines on the place mats. Two were bound in the green plaid...which now only a few scraps are left and blue bindings on the others.
I did struggle with this challenge but am happy I stuck with it. Even if the piecing was a little harder than I wanted to make for Meals on Wheels place mats!
