Placemats of the Month club -- March edition

For Christmas, I promised Mom that I would send her a new set of placemats each month for 2016.

Here are March's placemats:

These little bits were left over from my Going My Way? quilt.  I was tickled to use one of my new FabuLux threads "Parade" (red, white, and blue) for the quilting.  It looked great on these nautical placemats:

I chose a really simple quilting pattern for these placemats since they are meant to be used and slopped and stained.  Tons of pretty quilting is unnecessary for these simple utilitarian placemats.

Happy March, Mom!
