That's a great idea to give the leftover fabric to your kids to chop up! Love the placemats! They are going to look cute. And so nice about the baby quilt. So nice that you have five months to do it. I just realized I need to get a quilt made for my newest niece. I will see my parents next month and they will take it back to Texas for me. Yikes. I have got to get going!
Oh, I'll look forward to seeing what you come up with next! I've enjoyed your other quilts you've posted!
