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.

Detour - Primary color love

This is the second set of "Detour" place mats with matching table runner that Reneta made for a lucky family members as Christmas gifts.   These are really bright and cheerful in primary colors. 

A mix a straight line quilting and curls in a navy thread was all they needed to feel complete.

This pattern by Highway 10 Designs really does look great in any color combination.  Pattern is available as a PDF download or as a traditional paper pattern in our Etsy Store.  Wholesale inquiries welcome to highway10designs@mymts.net

Blueberry Flavored Detour Place Mats and Runner

Reneta made this fun runner and place mats our of some awesome blueberry fabric she picked up in Newfoundland in the summer.  The pattern she used is Detour by Highway 10 Designs. 

 I don't usually get to quilt small items like this, so these were a fun change of pace.  Reneta left the quilting design up to me but did mention that she like the look of the curls.  I like place mats to have enough quilting so that they come out of the wash and require the least care possible so I did a lot of stitching in the ditch around the elements of the design.

 

If you want to whip up a set of these for a great Christmas gift the pattern is available as a PDF download (or by mail) from our Etsy shop.
