This week I used the scraps from my various denim quilts to make simple improv-style quilt-as-you-go placemats.
I took denim off-cuts and pretty 'focus' scraps to make these fun placemats that can be personalized to whoever you want to make quick gifts for.
As I explained in the video you can use leftover batting in these placemats, but if you want them to be proper hot plates (like for a dish straight from the oven instead of a dinner plate) then you will want to use some insul bright. Link below.
