- Make a complete placemat with scraps in less than an hour? Yes!
This combines foundation piecing with quilt as you go, resulting in a super fast quilt. I also show some more complicated designs like diamond log cabin, herringbone, rectangle log cabin, crazy log cabin and star burst.
I am Brita the Questioning Quilter, check out all the fun on my website: questioningqui...
If you decide to make one of these placemats, I would love to see how it comes out. You can email a picture to me or share it with me on Facebook or Instagram.

I love how your creative brain works! 💖👵🏻
You are so nice! Thanks so very much!!!!
What a fun video and pattern!
We all love a nice design for those non-thinky days. This is beautiful!
Thanks so very much!! I love that, "non-thinky days". I seem to have more and more of those as I get older. 🤣🤣🥰
You are truly the scrap queen!! ✨👸✨
You are making me blush. 🤗🤗🥰🥰 Thank you!
I love your enthusiasm for "what if" ❤
Thank you so much. I think "What if" are two of the most powerful words in the English language.
So true, Brita! Thanks for being you. ❤️
Fun projects. I think I like the log cabins best, especially the wonky one. Thanks for the ideas.
I had a lot of fun with the wonky log cabin. It came out even better than I expected it to. Thanks so much.
I love this idea. I'm looking at my scraps now and making plans. Thanks for sharing.
So glad that you like it. Making plans is probably my favorite part. I would love to see you mats when they are done. brita@questioningquilter.com.
very fun, Brita. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Hi Brita, You make this really fun and I like all the designs you made. I especially love the toile you placed on the back ❣️❣️❣️ I hope you have a wonderful week ahead. 🥰 Chris
Thank you so much Chris. I am so happy to hear that you like all the designs. I had a large piece of the toile left over from a different project so I though it would work well having a simple two color fabric on the back to contrast with the colorful front. 💕💕
Wonderful. All designs are great. You teach well!
You are so nice. I appreciate all of the very kind comments. Thanks!! 🥰🥰😘
Thanks for a creative and straight forward tutorial!
Thanks so very much!!!
The rays placemat was my favorite. Great idea to use up the scraps. Thank you!
Thanks! The rays were my favorites also. Don't forget, if you have shorter scraps, you could make matching pot holders.
You are amazing. Thank you for sharing these great ideas!
You are too kind. Thank you so much!
Like the different designs! Thanks for the ideas
Glad you like them! Thanks!
I love your designs, they are unique and easy to follow! Thank you, I really appreciate them. God bless you.
Thank you so very much. I warms my heart to hear this. 🥰🥰🥰
Love all of these! I love a good scrap buster, and my husband and daughter have asked for placemats and a table runner!! 😍
Well, there you go. This project will make everyone happy. Thanks 😊
You are so creative. I love your videos. Thank you. So many examples to try. Fun.
Thanks so much for being here.
Hello Brita! I'm so happy that I found your TH-cam channel. I love all your quiltings, and I love how you explain, I could follow your instructions and understand them perfectly. I send you a big hug from Costa Rica 🇨🇷 and I hope to see you for a long time with those great designs.
You are so very kind. I appreciate the hug from Costa Rica, I have never been but I have seen pictures and it is so amazingly beautiful. I am also happy that you found my channel and am excited to have you along for the ride.
Wow ... beautiful
I am happy that you like it!
Looking forward to making these. I was just thinking last night that I needed to make a couple of placemats for my kitchen table.
I am so happy to hear that my video popped up at just the right time for you. I hope that you try this and I would love to see how they come out. Thanks!!

Beautiful placemats! And you explained how to make it so plainly. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I am so glad that you found it easy to follow.
Sew fun! I love how one thing inspires you to another, and another!
Thanks so much for noticing. I kept thinking of more and more designs, and would have kept going but I wanted to get the video out by today. Otherwise there would have been at least 2 or 3 more placemats. LOL
Fantastic tutorial ❤can’t wait to make!
I hope that you do. I would love to see them when they are done! brita@questioningquilter.com
I am very pleased with your quilt patterns. Thank you for new patterns and designs

I am so happy that you like them. Thanks so much for watching and sharing. 😁😁
Thanks, I never thought about other patterns. Great tips.
I am so glad that you like the other designs. Thanks for being here!
I absolutely love these place mats!! The front matches one of my quits and the back panel another!! What a lovely gift they would make!! ❤😊
Thanks so much. You are right. The back fabric is the same as I put on the back of your your lap quilt. LOL.
Love your ideas, the what if factor is my favorite.
It makes me happy to hear that. I think "What If" are two of the most powerful words in the English language. Thanks!
Really enjoy your energetic presentations! You are having fun!
I am! I am so happy that you like it.
I enjoyed the various layouts-that’s so YOU of you to play around like that! You could do so many gradations with just the rays for quite some time.
I was fascinated by the quadrant designs.
Thanks so much. I was thinking about making rays with the jelly roll since they would be wide enough to play around with the angles. All the ideas are just too much fun.
love this 😀❤
Thanks!
I love to make placemats for Christmas gifts. I have been doing this for a few years and I made summer themed popsicle placemats this year. I like all the different layouts that you shared, Brita! THANK You for sharing.
That's a great idea! I love the idea of giving these as gifts, and different themes is so fun. Thanks!!!
Love the idea. I've been looking for a quick pattern to make a mat for under my sewing machine so I can slide it instead of lifting it out of the way. I think this will work perfectly. Thank you.🥰
I can't tell you how happy this makes me to hear. I love it when an idea comes along at just the right time.
Thanks.
Brita, I made the mat in oranges and yellows and have it under my featherweight, Absolutely love it.
@@suemitchell7592 That is so fantastic to hear! I would love to see a picture. brita@questioningquilter.com
Been doing this for years... I sew on the right and then the left and then finger press . They make pretty good pot holders also. I did one set with 6 different layouts. A different layout for each mat. It made a pretty set.
It is great that you have been doing this. I think it is a fun project, which is why I wanted to share it. Great idea about the potholders also. Thanks so much for sharing.
What a great idea to make a whole set out of variations of the same theme! I bet it's gorgeous.
A perfect finish for the one wilt the rays would be to add a half circle to the bottom for a rise and shine look
Oh man, you are right. A half circle on the bottom would look amazing. Thanks so much for sharing the idea.
Hi Brita, what a fun so easy and quick pattern and the very best, it shrinks your scraps. I really love your ideas and for the next time I have to make some new placemats I will try one of your pattern, or may be all in different layouts 🤔 I have to think 😃 many greetings ❤
It is always great to hear from you. It really is a great way to use up scraps. I will be setting the table with the assortment of designs. Or, maybe I will let everyone pick their own design.
Just rec'd your e-mail re: this video and wanted to give a bit of feedback. For some of us tht have been sewing/quilting for literal decades😮 not all videos provide something new and unique. This is just one of those redundant topics for us; however, I know there are plenty of new and newish quilters/sewers that will enjoy this content. I think it's smart to offer things that cover a variety of skill levels.
Hi Kathryn,
Thanks so very much for the feedback. I really appreciate you letting me know your opinion. Thanks so much for being here for me. 😘😘💕💕
Ukraine! Thank you! Super!
I Stand with Ukraine!!! I hope that you saw the blue and yellow quilt video that I dedicate to them.
Thanks!!!
I made a couple hot pads out of scraps just as you did here adding strips except adding insulbrite with batting.
That's a great idea. Thanks so much for sharing.
You DO have a way with angles, Friend.
You are too kind. 👍🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
I need to buy a new machine. What machine are you using? I really wanted the Juki nx7 but I read that the throat plate (straight stitch and multiple stitch plate gives users problems). Any advice is greatly appreciated.
I am a Bernina girl so I can't really compare to the other brands. The machine I had before the Bernina was an inexpensive Sears model my mom bought me when I was in college (quite a while ago). That said, I absolutely love my Bernina. I do have two throat plates. One with the wide opening for the needle for ziz-zag stitches and a single hole one that I use for quilting. But changing the throat plate is zero effort. Push at the corner and it pops up at an angle. Take it off and snap the new one in place.
I hope that this helps.
Maybe I’m mistaken but I just that 12” throat space. I sincerely appreciate the input. I haven’t looked at them but will today. Hope you had a wonderful New Year! Many blessings to you.
Yeah, the throat space on all the machines make quilting a very large quilt more challenging. It does look like the Juki might have a slightly larger throat space, but you would have to check.
If you are just looking for something for quilting, all the manufacturers have sit-down long arms (they don't take up as much room as the big frame models). Bernina has a 16" and 20" model.
