Rainbow Scrap Challenge-Red Week 3
Okay - I am a little late posting my progress for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge - where did Saturday and Sunday go anyway??...but I did make something and I want to show it! This is my second red scrap placemat and I think it turned out pretty well. The month is just flying by and if I want a set of four red placemats then I have to get cracking and make two this week instead of just one. I know that it is not likely that I will have them quilted before the end of the month but I am okay with that. I don't want to rush the quilting just to get them done within a specific time period. My sewing room is too much of a mess and there is just no creative space in it. And...the truth is that I am feeling a bit intimidated by quilting them in some design or pattern other than meandering or straight line quilting. I know I just have to get over it because that is one of the reasons for making the placemats - practice pieces!! To see what everyone else worked on this week check out SoScrappy's blog.

Very cute! Placemats are great to practice quilting on, go ahead, you can do it! My space is a mess right now too... but I do plan to 'organize' it up this week while the machine is in for a cleaning.
Beauty! And so useful!
Good to see a second place mat done. Do not panic about the quilting. Your right it is about practising on small projects.
Adorable! They will be just perfect for quilting practice. Take a deep breath and jump in. What's the worst that could happen?
The placemat looks great - the key to FMQ is practice and little projects like this are perfect. Just take a deep breath and jump in - what is the worst that can happen? Good luck!
Another lovely placemat Ellen. Good for you!! It's often better not to rush into the quilting.
