Last week I decided our "dining room" table needed some revamping. The table cloth was stained and the place mats were just plain yucky. I found a picture of some quilted place mats somewhere out there in the blogosphere and was inspired to use up some of my scraps of fabric. I had a lot of yellow scraps, and then threw in some red and blues and one or two green scraps too.
Here is Charlie's:
And this one is mine:
I can't decide if we should find a new table cloth or just leave the table as it is. What do you think?
Now Charlie and I need to take etiquette lessons so we can stop eating like slobs and keep our quilted place mats clean.

Leave it as is! I love how simple and cozy it looks with just the place mats. Too cute!
ReplyDeleteOhh Lauren, those are awesome! I can't wait till i will have a place of my own and i can make stuff like that and it will actally have a purpose!
ReplyDeleteI just make placemats for the MIDDLE of the table...that way they stay somewhat clean.;)
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely, keep it just as it is!
ReplyDeleteI love how they look against the table! Those turned out great!
ReplyDeleteHey, I wouldn't worry about the lessons! We use napkins that I make out of my larger scrap pieces. A little oxi clean and it's all good! Great job using scraps!

Great idea to quilt a placemat! I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Love the fabrics. They turned out really great.
ReplyDeleteI like Charlies!
ReplyDeleteI'll make you a little basket
ReplyDeleteBeautiful placemats! I wouldn't want to get them dirty either! They look great against your table too!
ReplyDeleteI love your placemats. They really brighten up a dining room table. I would add a plain tablecloth to make the mats not slip around. Great job!!
ReplyDeletethat made me laugh...i amalways afraid to put cute things like that one the table because i don't want them to get dirty....you are very brave. they look great just as they are.
ReplyDeleteI love the placemats! So much better than store bought. I like them the way they are.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I'd leave them the way they are. They pop against the dark wood of your table... and a table topper is just another thing to wash :)
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely on your table. Live with them for a while and then decide.
ReplyDeleteSuper placemats - they look great on your table!
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty placemats!
ReplyDelete:o) Trish
I think they look just perfect right now:-)
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Placemats are on my list of must dos :)
ReplyDeleteThese are great and look good on their own. Table cloths are pretty but a pain. Make fabric napkins and through them all in the wash! Nice job.
ReplyDeleteLauren, I love them!!! They both are great...similar but different. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteEtiquette lessons - lol! Just make yourself some napkins to clean up the mess! These look great! Like the his and hers idea - you will always be able to tell who is the biggest slob! My bets are on him!
ReplyDeletevery cute! I like just placemats on a table, then you can see the color of the wood too.
ReplyDeleteCute Cute CUTE! What a good idea, and a great scrapbuster!
