The definition of 'Modern Quilting' is that it is both useful and easy to achieve. The idea is that someone will look at it and say 'ooooh I could do that!'
We were shown how to make table mats in a modern style. I took my Halloween fabric and made two on the day and another since....
Cutting the strips 2 inches wide |
The first mat pieced and layered ready to quilt... |
and ditto with the second |
The pumpkin fabric is for the backing |
Quilting in straight lines- dead easy! You don't get a closeup of that because they are not all very straight!! |
Someone mentioned mock piped binding and I found a tutorial and had a go. You can find the tutorial here |
How cute is that? And ALL machine sewn. |
These are the pieces cut and partly sewn for the mat to go on top of the bookcase. |
ditto |
The quilting took a whole 20 minutes to complete!!!!! |
One mat finished! |
Two mats finished! |
Three mats finished! |
The backing is Dia de los Meurtos fabric which I bought from equilter.com a few years ago. |
All ready for my Dia de los Meurtos display (which may have to wait for another year - ha ha) |

HI Davina - Great to meet you on Saturday!
I love your extra mat and am very impressed with piped binding - well done for getting them finished for Haloween!
