I have two small cabinets that need a seasonal fall touch, so I decided to use Julie Cefalu’s free Scrappy Leaf Block pattern (The Crafty Quilter) to make two placemats.
The back of one, and the front of the other (both placemats are the same):
*Clicking on a photo will give you a closer look!
I wasn’t so sure about using the leftover fabric that I had for the binding, but I really wanted to use it up.
I am very happy with how they turned out!
Julie’s designs are cute and her patterns are well written. She expanded the Scrappy Leaf Block pattern and added a free Scrappy Leaves Table Runner pattern. If you are looking for a scrappy seasonal project, then perhaps you would like to try this one!
Have fun and carry on!

These are lovely! Autumn leaves are a great subject for scrappy patchwork designs.
Leaves are finally changing colour here after rather warm damp September and October that kept the green going for an unusually long time.
