Festive Tableset from Border fabric

 I got this pretty border print fabric with hopes of coming up with a great plan.

Down to the wire now, so I came up with this arrangement. It measures 13 x 50.  I pulled the mint green and silver and black with white dots from my stash.  So fun when you have a stash that serves you just right.

The placemats were another challenge itself.  I resorted to EQ to help me fit the dimensions of the tree border strip into this partial seam block style and tell me the size for the center rectangle.  Here is a close up of one placemat and the four mats together.

                        

I backed all the pieces with this mint green print.  Since the fabrics are so busy, I used a dark gray Omni thread and quilted in the ditch.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I STILL have things to finish.  I got to do better next year!
