Placemats
#11
When I googled images of wedge shaped placemats, almost all of them use one piece of fabric, except this blogger shows a picture of some she made with a central chicken square. http://pirate-sr.blogspot.ca/2011_12_01_archive.html

I have been all over the net to get some ideas for this wedge shape placemat. No luck. I will just do a one fabric reversible mat. Maybe later try some appliqué. Thank you all for your suggestions.

I also tried to search on Yahoo, and there is a question on yahoo answers for the same thing. The recommendation of the answer suggests using newspaper and cutting shapes until you get the shape you are after? Might be worth a try...

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I have the pattern. What I'am looking for are quilt pattern ideas that can be used for this shape. I know I can use almost anything, was just hoping someone could give me some good suggestions for quilt patterns. I did want to piece the mats.
Thanks for looking for me.

I just checked my pattern, and that shape is not here, (bought it at St. vinnie's) but maybe you could find the same pattern on eBay? Pattern is McCalls 6622 from 1979, but it has the exact shape you want?

I think you could use any pattern that isn't too big, make it square, the cut it to this shape. Yes, you'll waste a little, but it'd look great. I'd just be careful to make sure the fabric is centered in the middle of this shape, or wherever you want, before you cut it.

Placemats
I have made many like this as our table is round and these fit nicer. My original pattern was cut from one of the patio placemats - kind of a rubbery feel that sticks and doesn't blow away so easily -. When I make these I use 1 layer of W&N batting and usually put 2 different fabrics on. One on the front and one on the back to coordinate with a tablerunner or mat (e.g. Halloween on one side/ fall leaves on the other). Usually cut my own bias binding unless I have a match I want to use. Have fun......I'm sure she'll enjoy whatever you make.
