Reversible holiday placemats


I finished up the reversible holiday placemats I was working on...the finished placemats measure                 12 inches x 18 inches.  Again I used these placemats by Amy a la Mode as inspiration.  



I did a no binding method for finishing these, as I wanted them reversible, and couldnt decide on a binding color that I felt worked well on both sides of the placemats.  I free motion quilted these using some stippling.


These will yet again be put away as a Christmas gift for a coworker.




I will be linking these up to Amylouwho's sew and tell.  Stop by and see everyone's awesome finishes this week!
