Jam Jar Quilted Placemats

For these quick, cute placemats, we used one-color designs from the Jam Jar Set for a large (5" x 7") hoop.

The finished size of each placemat is about 15 1/2" x 27".

For one placemat: out of marble green fabric, cut

  • 3 rectangles measuring 7" x 8",

Embroidery:

Upload the files from the Jam Jar Set into your machine and embroider them on the blocks. Pick a thread color that contrasts with your fabric.

Quilting and Finishing:

Now place the backing on a flat surface (table) face down. Cover with batting. Spread your working piece over it.

Pin all three layers together with 1" pins and start quilting. We quilted with a meandering pattern all over the mats.

After the quilting is finished, press the work with heavy steam and square the work -- all corners should be 90 degrees and opposite sides should be of the same length.

Finish the raw edges with the binding.
