Crazy patchwork placemats and coasters. I had a pack of six Christmas fat quarters so I decided to make placemats by the "stack and whack" method. I quite like how they turned out, but I need a matching runner now for the middle of the table! (And a much bigger hoop!)

Very nice yes I agree a table runner will finish it off very nicely

Great job!
I agree, a table runner would be nice.
Could you make them ITH by adding parts? You could use the placemat design with one open end and add each completed section face down on top of the new one before adding the lining. Seams might turn out to be a bit bulky, so you could choose not to line them ITH but line the completed top afterwards. I can imagine a row of five to look pretty.

I'd thought along those lines, but the fabric left overs won't quite run to it!

I agree with you Sue, I think a runner would be great. I like the idea of the stack and whack and as Martine has suggested doing it in the hoop by adding pieces would work well. Love Chris

Kreative Kiwi Embroidery has a ITH Crazy Patch Table Runner which would complement your table mats.

Terrific work Sue, an amazing result with all your smaller pieces together. A large table runner to match would be a great idea I think. Am sure you will come up with a great one. Merry Christmas to you and your family, may it be safe, peaceful and joyous. Best wishes. Sandra.

Very nice finish Sue although I don't have a clue what the 'stack and whack' method of construction is. Perhaps Father Christmas will deliver a giant hoop for you for Christmas............and so you can at least plan for next year.......lol.

Lovely set.
Maybe you could buy a length of fabric, not in this set of designs, but coordinating with them and then place the leftovers in random order for the length??
And yes a bigger table is always helpful at Christmas and celebration times.
Do any of the continuous hoops fit your machine or am I out of date and they have gone out of use now?
