Spring is firmly here, and summer is coming fast, so I needed something new for my table. I had a bunch of fat quarters in these bright colours, so I decided to make placemats.

A spiral is a fun all-over design that is done with a walking foot, but there is no need to limit yourself to a circle. Any simple shape can be “spiralized”. Once your quilt sandwich is basted, you are ready to go. To begin, choose a simple shape. I have chosen a rectangle. Don’t try…
Sometimes it is difficult to figure out how to quilt a project. Traditional quilts often lend themselves to techniques like stitch in the ditch, echoing, feathers and fill stitches, but modern quilts usually need something different.
