This definitely needs some quilting to make it interesting.
Way back when I came up with this design using semicircles.
Getting the semicircles to meet nicely at the centers of the white squares might be difficult.
If I flatten the semicircle, then I don't have to worry about the centers. And the design still works
So can I quilt this design?
Yes I can. And here's how:

My local guild makes placemats for Kitchen Angels, a charity that takes meals to those that are homebound. We just finished this year's effort, but I've tucked a link to this post away for next year. I like this idea for practicing quilting design and free--motion quilting.

ReplyDeleteI think place mats are great for practicing all kinds of skills: quilt design, piecing, quilting design, quilting, applique design, appliqueing, embroidery, embellishing.
It doesn't cost a lot in time or materials to make a place mat. So trying new things is easy and carefree.
