A comment @Immaculata made in the Garage Sale thread reminded me that a few years BLC (Before Lettuce Craft) I made a set of eight (8) very scrappy placemats.
They are two sided and because I am not a quilter, a labor of love. Each one is quilted with a different design, using one of two variegated threads.
The binding is also scrappy, but all in black/white/grey prints.
They were given as a gift.
Those are super fun! I love how vibrant and random they are.
Wow… how fun are these? I’m drooling over more than a few of your fabric choices!
Oh I love these. I am supposed to be making scrappy placemats for my house, but I’ve lost steam on my initial idea. I might just copy you instead! 
Thanks, everyone!
I cut tons of 2.5" strips of various lengths from a pile of smaller scrap pieces, then just sewed them all in a long, long strip by randomly selecting from the bag o’ strips. I wanted to use as many stash scraps as I could and not think much about order and placement. This approach made it a much faster project and therefore one I would actually do!
Those are lovely and so fun! I’m sure the recipient adored them!
Those inspired a set I made for our dining room, that we’re still using in the new kitchen. They really don’t go with the new kitchen, but I haven’t had time to make something new, and they hide stains really, really well.
Thanks, everyone!
@MistressJennie The key with mine is that they go with everything by going with nothing! 
They are so fun!! I want to seek & find all of the things on them.
These are great! And if you really wanted something that “matches” your kitchen, you just pick fabrics in coordinating colorways. Genius, and a great way to use up scraps.
I love them. I have plans for a set for us but it’s one of those some day projects.
Thanks, pals!
I was glad to have someone to give these to since we aren’t placemat people… easier to wipe the table than spot treat and launder placemats for us!
