Placemats

When I want to make easy placemats I cut a 12" square for the center. Then I cut 3 1/2 inch strip to put on top and bottom of a contrasting fabric.. At each end I reverse the color by putting a 3 1/2 inch strip on the side and a 3 1/2 inch sq. in the corner the same color at the center block. Hope this is not too confusing. Then I use warm and natural batt in the middle an quick turn them. Some times I use focus fabric for the center. Marge
