I finished this one about 10 days ago, and can give the full reveal now that I know it has been received. I participated in the second Placemat Quilt Swap on Flickr, and Michelle was my partner. I have had this silly little idea in my head for a while, and thought it would be just right for a “placemat” swap, even though I knew Michelle wasn’t planning on using it on a table.
It’s a few prints from the Lizzy Dish line, with one goofy Kaufmann chicken interrupting the party. I got the shape/template from Amanda Jean‘s most recent tutorial for Moda Bake Shop. The back is those great egg beaters, with a bright striped border.
There are some incredible quilts going around in this swap, and I always feel like I’m on the lame end, because I just don’t make those gorgeous art quilts that I see. But it was a fun thing to do, anyways, and Michelle was super sweet and says she really likes it, so hooray! I can’t wait for the next DQS sign-up…

I’m totally coveting this, and let me tell ya, if I had one of these, I’d definitely start using placemats! The backing and binding are p-e-r-f-e-c-t!!
