Place mats and Runners, Oh My! - More Beginner Quilting Projects

Yesterday we talked about a most excellent way to start on your new quilting adventure: using a pre-printed panel to make a small baby quilt or wall hanging. Making a quilt from a panel.

Place mats and table runners are basically small quilts and can be another great way to start on your quilting adventure. You can practice piecing, make a few different quilt blocks and still end up with a finished project!






Table runners and place mats are small enough that you can easily do your own machine quilting. These all utilize simple straight-line quilting and a few wavy lines.  You can test out a complicated block and if you decide you're done after four blocks, they can become a set of place mats or a table runner!  I have been known to do this for sure.
