Modern Yardage four-sided placemats

Here is what I made with my Modern Yardage fabric from the Personality line in the Carefree color range by Emilie Daly:


It is one placemat with four different looks!  This way, I can use whichever design I like on a certain day!

This is the Dancing Dots in Calm print in large.

This is the Ombre Stripe in Fiesty print in large.

This is the Burst in Crystal print in large.

And this is the Whimsy in Storm print in large.

I'm sure we will be using these on the deck a lot this summer!  This pattern is Four-sided Placemats by Several Settings in Hampstead NH.  Your local quilt shop may have the pattern but HERE is one place I found online where you can order the pattern/template.

 was a great fabric to use for this project.  It worked will to fuse the interfacing and was just the right hand to turn and hold it's shape.  I am very happy with my set of placemats!

You should be very happy with those placemats! They are awesome! You can send them right to Oklahoma City. Let me know if you need my address :)

Those are really interesting. I'm wondering what you think of making them like this? I would probably feel it was a waste of fabric to make four sides, vs two-sided, but maybe the decor options make it worth it?

I love making those placemats Mary, and my grandkids think they are the best. Yours turned out beautifully and the fabric choices are so pretty & summery!

So very fun Mary! And I just read Grammasheri's comment, what a dummy I am. Make lots of pillowcases but never thought of kids placemats..well duh! Think the girls need some of the new Anne Kelle Supergirls in placemats!

What a clever idea! I love that gray print. I'm going to make a triangle quilt with my modern yardage. :)
