I hate tablecloths. It seems as though every single time I put a freshly laundered one on the table, someone spills on it. Rather than policing my guests or having small panic attacks every time somebody passes a dish, I’ve decided to take a different tack: placemats. Placemats are simple to make, easy to clean, and are fun additions to your table setting. At FaveQuilts, we have a ton of easy quilted placemat patterns for every season.
Easy Quilted Placemat Patterns
If I don’t have the time to wash my tablecloth after every meal, I certainly don’t have the time to slave away over placemats. Luckily, there are a ton of easy quilted placemat patterns that I can put together in less than an hour. There’s a wide variety of designs, from rustic patchwork placemats to kid-friendly placemats that will keep the little ones entertained throughout the meal.

Table Crafts Made from Fabric Scraps
Unless I win the lottery soon, I don’t have as much money as I’d like, so I’m always looking to save a couple bucks. I’m also a bit of a neat freak, so crafts made from fabric scraps are definitely appealing. Give your neglected scraps new life with some of these patchwork placemats. Although they use a mishmash of patterns and colors, these easy sewing projects with scraps can still look gorgeous. Plus, once you’re done crafting, you’ll have a ton of room to start collecting your next batch of scraps.
