Tiled Table Mat Quilt

I had these strips left over from making a Spiral Log Cabin quilt.

Picture
I sewed the strips together in to blocks and trimmed the blocks so that they were square.

To make the quilt bigger I added sashing borders with corner squares.  I really like using corner squares in sashing since it makes it easy to line the rows up.

I added a inner border and an outer border to complete the quilt. 

For the quilting, I stitched in the ditch on each side of the sashing.  I stitched in the ditch on each side of the inner border.

For the blocks I used a plastic quilting template.  I used my blue quilt marking pen that is supposed to fade to mark the quilting lines.  I do have lots of quilt marking pens and I never know which one fade and which ones need to be ironed.

However the next day, the blue lines still showed so I spray the lines with water and most of them faded.  The next day I had to spray some of the spots again.  There is some blue in one of the fabrics so it was a little hard to tell if all the spots faded.  The lesson learned is to spray the lines with water after I have finished the quilting.

It looks nice on my table.  It would probably look better on a smaller table.
