It just feels like spring today—birds are sweetly singing, laundry is on the line, and the world smells new. That makes it the perfect day to release this little beauty! The Graze Placemat is here just in time for Easter, Mother’s Day, and the fun-filled days of summer! This paper pieced placemat whips up in a jiffy; for beginners, it’s a great way to learn how to paper piece, or for masters, it’s a nice break from a big quilting projects. Make sure to check out every last lovely little details and don’t forget to get a copy for yourself!

Here’s a great view of this modern, paper pieced placemat! Ooo-la-la! A simple stitch-in-the-ditch allows for a clean and modern feel.

Now, don’t be afraid at the thought of paper piecing! I made sure that this pattern is beginner-friendly. A small project like this placemat is a great place to learn paper piecing because it’s not a huge commitment. If you get through one placemat and don’t love the technique, bind it, and use it on a dresser or nightstand—if you love paper piecing, then go crazy and make a set for your whole table!

The beauty of paper piecing: perfect points and you can dig into your scrap stash!
