Strip-Quilted Red, White & Blue Star Placemats

Show your patriotic colors when entertaining outdoors this Fourth of July. These strip-quilted placemats are easy to make and a wonderful way to dress up your space for an Independence Day party.

Strip-Quilted Red, White & Blue Star Placemats, Patriotic Craft Project for Independence DayWhat you will need:

1 yard blue fabric
1 yard white fabric
1 yard red fabric
foam sheet or thin batting
waterproof lining material

Makes: 4 Placemats of 18" diameter

Directions:

1. Cut one strip 2" wide from blue fabric.

2. Cut strips of 1-3/4" from white and red fabric.

3. Piece the strips as shown in picture.

4. Cut star shapes from the pieced fabric. Cut a foam/batting of the same size and also one lining.

finally the waterproof lining. Join the three layers with blue bias binding.

You can also make smaller stars for using as coasters to match the placemats.
