DIY Place Setting Placemat

I don't usually use placemats, but I like this DIY place setting placemat so much I might start! I think this would be really cute with different vintage fabrics; I'd probably stitch the place setting silhouettes down since things tend to take a beating in my house!

How-To: Triangle Patchwork

triangle_patchwork_brett_bara.jpg

Brett Bara of Manhattan Craft Room has a new tutorial up on Design*Sponge showing how to create simple triangle patchwork that can be used in decor or quilting projects.

This isn't technically a quilting project, since it's not actually quilted -- just pieces of fabric sewn together into a patchwork. But you could quilt this piece, or take the basic tutorial and turn it into just about anything, from a larger wall hanging to a pillow or baby quilt or even a bed quilt. (I would so love a triangle quilt for my bed!)

I love how she's framed the patchwork in her example. It feels very modern and fresh, but still tactile. Nice!
