What a cheerful addition to any table. I love them. Really nice.

I like them a lot. Sunflowers are my thing.

Lovely! What a nice gift for your GD. Sunflowers are such a cheery accent!
Teresa

Very nice.Maybe use the same background,then add your own highlite...a flower,fish etc. PL

They are cheerful and will make a wonderful gift. TFS.

I used batting in a runner and some placemats I made and it made them a bit bumpy after I did some straight-line quilting.Do you use batting in yours?

patce, have thought of doing just that but have not decided yet. Not many designs out there unless you want Christmas motif.
Geraldine, yes, I uses batt-Hobb 20/80. They don't seem to be bumpy. I quilted around the boarder and did a decorative applique around the flowers and leaves which acted as the quilting. Debated on more but decided not necessary. Jayne

Another good "batting" for placemats is flannel. It takes a bit of preparation because you have to wash it in hot water and dry it in the dryer at least two or three times to make sure it's completely shrunk (unless you can find a poly blend). It lays nice and flat after quilting and you can get away with less quilting if you want because it's not going to break down with repeated washings.

I've also used a couple of layers of pre-shrunk muslin or ugly fabrics. As long as you can't see the print through any light fabrics, it's a good way to get rid of some of those "what the heck was I thinking?!" fabrics in your stash.

Those are gorgeous! I like the fabrics you chose.
