SoScrappy Saturday 6.6.2026

Today is the first Saturday of June. The theme this month is 'pastels' or 'catch up'. Today, for me, is about 'catch up'. I wasn't very orange productive so I have a few orange projects hanging around the sewing room. 

The first project I worked on was my orange based Meals-on-Wheels placemats. I used a few of the Detroit Tigers themed fabric for the corners of the 1/4 Log Cabin blocks. I'm liking 'how' this set of placemats turned out and perfect for the summertime table.

Here are my placemats ready to sew. The backing is a hand dyed experiment gone wrong. <grin>


Here are my finished placemats.


pattern: 1/4 Log Cabin: public domain
                6.5 inch cut novelty, 3.5 inch cut strips then cut to length
quilting: quilt as you go.

That's a great design for the placemats! Looks to me like you had the perfect coordinating scraps to go with the Tigers' logo, too.
