These DIY quilted placemats are a quick and easy project. This is an excellent beginner quilting project, but assumes some basic sewing and quilting knowledge, like how to use a sewing machine, sewing basics, and some fundamental quilting principles. Handmade gifts are always thoughtful and quilted placemats would make great gifts for a housewarming. By using seasonal fabrics, they can be the perfect addition to holiday decor.
