I’ve been meaning to make something for my friend who designed my website art. She and her husband are wonderful people who thrive on library vibes and they love to decorate with: grey, navy, and burgundy.

It’s nice to have small projects to break up the monotony that can occur with big projects. I’ve been working on a couple different quilts over the last couple weeks—which are a lot of fun but a lot of work. My aunt emailed me at the perfect time—she needed a security blanket and coordinating burp cloths.
I like the idea of placemats that are related in color and idea—but aren’t identical. If you’ve seen my other posts about placemats, you’ve probably noticed this.
I like this design because it’s also a way to see how to make diamonds when sewing. It’s all of these small puzzle pieces coming together that help me design big quilts.
The first design I drew up involved small triangles—but it was going to take me forever to make, so I decided to go with big and bold chevrons. I wanted to use several different patterns for the yellow, grey, and pink with a solid white chevron.
