What a pretty way to dress up a table to reflect the change of seasons (as well as add a bit of protection to your table). And if you're looking for a quick-to-make project, you may want to sew one of the simpler placemat designs consisting of just two fabric pieces that are turned and top stitched. Or, if you want to get a bit fancier, you can dress up your placemats with pretty trims such as pom poms or bias tape. Get even more elaborate by choosing one of the quilted patchwork table runners. And if you really want to go all out, you can add pockets to your placemats for utensils and make coordinating napkins and coasters.

And a placemat can make an excellent first project for a beginner who's just learning how to sew. Since a simpler placemat design usually has only two fabric pieces and just a few straight seams, its construction should be quick and simple. And one of the patchwork quilted designs would make an excellent first project for someone new to quilting. Since a quilted placemat is much smaller than a bed quilt, it will be easier for the new quilter to handle and sew. Plus, it will stitch up much faster than a bed quilt and quickly give the new quilter a sense of satisfaction from a completed project.

And just remember that if you do choose to sew one of the patchwork placemat designs and you want to be able to launder your finished placemats, you may want to prewash your fabrics first to reduce the chance of shrinkage and the chance of fabric dyes bleeding onto one another.
