Tulip Placemats

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.

While internet surfing, I came across a cute tulip tutorial by Kristina at Center Street Quilts.

If I sewed three tulip blocks to make one placemat, the size would be 15″ x 18″…exactly the size of my accent tables (I have two of them…his and her’s you know)!

I wanted to get this made last month, to replace the Valentine placemats that are still on my tables.

I don’t have to decorate ‘in season’, do I?

One day, I might have enough seasonal table toppers/placemats to decorate in a timely manner.

That’s the goal.
