In June, 2022, I shared a post where I showed a pair of spring placemats, or table toppers.
When Mom passed last July, I inherited a cabinet from her. The cabinet top is the same size as my two side tables (End tables, accent cabinets, side tables…what do you call them?).
I wondered if I had more of the same scraps that I had used for the original tulip placemats, so I dug in the scraps, and I found more.
I am not always matchy-matchy, but it was fun to make this tulip pattern and, of course, tulips do come in lots of colors.
I cut my binding wider than I normally do. I dunno why…senior moment. I am pretty sure that I am not the only one who suffers those.
It looks nice anyway.
Quilt On!

Those are pretty tulip blocks, and they make great placemats! I’m going to have to go look at the block pattern. I make lots of placemats and table mats, but I haven’t made tulips yet! That’s a sweet way to honor your mom, too!
