Step 1 For this project I cut my front and backing fabric to 12.5"x16.5" rectangles. Materials To add a bit of volume and weight to the placemats I used this fantastic Warm & Natural cotton batting. I cut the batting a 1/4" smaller around than the top and backing fabric for a 16"x12" rectangle. Step 2 After cutting, lay the three layers out and iron flat. Step 3 I used a free form amoeba like pattern when quilting the layers together. It's important to make sure that the layers stay flat together while quilting, to make sure that the placemat will lay flat after quilting. After Ironing Once the layers are quilted together iron the placemat flat again. Step 4 After having been quilted and ironed flat, your placemats are ready for binding. Step 5 I used a pre-folded double fold bias tape to create the bound edge on these placemats. There are several ways to attache the binding, I pinned mine in
