Tuesday, March 24th, up to the challenge

The local quilt shop has a challenge underway that ends on Saturday. You get a free fat quarter, which was wrapped in a brown paper bag and you make something with it. After the 28th, she will display everything that was made and there will be a vote, and the winner wins a bunch of fat quarters.
I have had the fabric for quite some time and had several ideas, but when I was in the shop in So. Carolina, I got my inspiration.
This is a four sided place mat. It took me about an hour to make and the other three fabrics were out of my stash and they were fabrics that I got in a mystery grab bag, or was given to me. I bought some fusible interfacing yesterday for 1.00.
This picture is terrible, but you can see the other sides of the place mat. I tried to make it as a four season, or four holiday place mat. Pretty clever, huh?
