Pattern - Carolyn Friedlander Herringbone placemat

Beautiful patterns from Carolyn Friedlander.  These placemats iare designed to work with pre-cuts (jelly rolls) or 1 3/4 yards of assorted fabric so perfect for clippings, scraps and remnants.  It also promises to be a great introduction to paper piecing.  If the runner looks like too big a project, think about a placemat.  

For four placemants you'll need

1 package of pre-cut 2 1/2 strips or 1 3/4 yards total amount of assorted fabrics (in lots of different varieties)

1/2 for borders

1 yd fabrc for backing

4x 15"x22" pieces of cotton batting

1/2 yard binding fabric

There are even instructions for cloth napkin rings.  

From Carolyn;

The Herringbone runner is a clean, modern adaptation of a classic pattern. Its design accommodates a wide range of colors and prints, and works especially well with solids. Choose contrasting fabrics in a variety of tones. The runner would make for a unique and handsome housewarming or wedding gift!
