Roundabout Placemats and Runners

I made this set of placemats and runners for my daughter Kyla.  Kyla's table is either a large circle, or an oval with the leaf in.  The Roundabout pattern by our Highway 10 Designs is perfect (and was totally designed with her table in mind.)

I made six placemats and had enough left to made the bonus hexagon centre.  The pattern includes instructions on how to customize the size of the placemats to best fit your table.  (If you don't prewash your fabric and batting allow for shrinkage.)

I also made this runner that is one of two included in the pattern.

Then I decided to try something different. I made a single Hexagon from our Lug Nuts pattern that made a large centre that fits perfectly on her 48" table.

The entire set was quilted with the Ripples pantograph.  I usually custom quilt placemats, but decided to go a different way after doing this for my friend Reneta this year.  I loaded a single large piece of backing and batting and just placed all the pieces close together and I was off to the races.

 

More Roundabout Placemats

Reneta made another set of Roundabout placemats, this time featuring some cute Puffin fabric.  Reneta requested an all over quilting pattern and she selected the Dragon's Breath pantograph.  The simple tone on tone black and white fabrics really make the puffin fabric pop!

 

The Roundabout pattern includes 2 tables runners and the placemats.  One of the runners and the placemats are easily customizable to the size that best fits your table.  It is available from Highway 10 Designs in either a paper copy or a PDF download.

More and more Roundabout Place Mats and a Black Friday Sale!

I think Reneta may be the #1 fan of out Highway 10 Designs Roundabout place mat and table runner pattern.  I recently shared her cabin themed set, and today I am sharing two more!  She said she just couldn't stop making them.  I think they turned out awesome!

First up is this set that included the cool seaside word fabric.  I did some ditch stitching between the different fabrics and then a few simple designs in the wider sections.

The second set for today has this awesome combination of fabrics including the boats around the outer edge.

I changed up the quilting designs on this set.  All the quilting I've done here would be easy to translate to a domestic machine. (hint, hint)

i just love them - classy and fun!

Now for the best part....

Reneta's Cabin Theme Roundabout Placemats

 For those of you that have asked if I've been doing any quilting this fall this answer is a resounding yes!  I am dreadfully behind in posting photos as evidenced by the grass and leaves in these photos instead of snow!  I will do my best to get caught up over the next week or so - I think I have at least 10 quilts to share...

First up is the wonderful set of cabin themed Roundabout place mats made by Reneta.  I had a lot of fun quilting the fish in the green ring.  Reneta made these as a gift for a family member with a property on the water.  I think they will be perfect.

The items in the Roundabout pattern go together really quickly so you could still get some made in time for Christmas.  Pattern is available in PDF download or paper format.

Roundabout by Highway 10 Designs

Today Highway 10 Designs is excited to launch our newest offering - Roundabout.  This pattern includes instructions for place mats and two table runners.  The really exciting part of this pattern is that the shapes of the items fit nicely on round and oval tables, not just ones with square corners!

Above you can see the three items.  They are strip pieced and go together really easily, so you could still get a set together before Christmas!  

Below you can see the colorway that I made for my daughter for her first apartment.

Another unique feature of this pattern is that the place mats and the simple runner can be adjusted to any length you require for your table with the instructions we have provided in the pattern.

The table that I used for these photos is quite a large one - the round one is 47" in diameter.  When the table is oval you can see how you could have lots of guests and more place mats would fit in at the ends.

The place mats in the following photos use the standard size we include in the pattern and you can see how they fit on 36", 42" or 45" round tables.  With the included instructions you can adjust the size of the place mats to perfectly fit your own round table, no matter what size it is!

The pattern is available as a PDF download or through the mail in paper format in our Highway 10 Designs Etsy Store.

I love this pattern so much that I couldn't help but start another set after I gave the ones I made to my daughter.  Here is a peak at the colors I chose.  We hope that you love Roundabout as much as we do!
