Square and subcut unit into 5 1/2" sections. Each unit of 12 pieced strips will yield 3 placemats. Therefore if you want to make a set of 6,you will need to cut 2 of each of the 12 fabrics and repeat these steps.
Here is a Hitty dress I made this morning....pre mini-quilt obsession I used to make tons of these and sell them on ebay. I have lately felt the urge to make some more! The little wooden dolls for those who don't know Hitty,are 6 1/4" wood carved dolls made to resemble the Rachel Fields character from her Hitty book. I have probably 15-20 various Hittys carved by many talented artists. I love sewing for her because my beloved civil war fabrics are right up her alley! This particular doll is made by the remarkable Jean Lotz.
This is my humble attempt to recreate a gorgeous framed mini I saw by Sawyer's Nana on Flicker. Only hers was tiny and more perfect. LOL I spent most of the morning trying to get this right....and since there was math involved,and I am a math moron,I was happy with it.
I am a quilt addict. When not in my sewing room,I can be found at work. I am a high school teacher of English and Psychology. That means I get to quilt all summer. I live with a wonderful Berger Picard ("Winn Dixie" dog)and live in southern California.
