I totally fell in love with these modern veggie prints by Benartex called “Toss & Serve”.

I bought two packs of 6 1/2” squares and a bit of yardage.

I made 8 placemats and then used the leftover squares to make a small table mat.

I used the exploding block method from Jenny Doan’s tutorial to make the center of the placemats.

Then I sub-cut some squares and made smaller pinwheel blocks and added some rectangles in green from my stash.

I used a solid green on 4 placemats and a green print that looked like celery leaves on the other 4 placemats.

I made nine patches with a all the center squares being the solid green and sub-cut them into quarters to use the disappearing 9 patch design for the table mat.

I really love how they turned out!!

So bright and fun!!  And the backing yardage also goes really well with the wall color in our morning room where we eat!!
