My partner requested blue, orange and gray so I came up with these placemats for her. I hope she likes them because I want to keep them for myself!
Here's the full shot of them. I made them in sets of two so she can mix and match them depending on how many people she has over. And I did some straight line quilting to accentuate the movement create by the chevrons.
I included a little extra set of spoons that matched and a little snacky surprise. You can see a bit of the backing here. I used the Far Far Away II from
this post on the back because I know she's a Heather Ross fan. This was my first swap and I'm so nervous about it. I hope she's happy with them!

I don't think you should be nervous at all because those are amazing! Anyone would love them!! I am so envious every time I see a hexagon, one day, one day... :-)
Those are gorgeous placemats! I wish I could join in the swap and receive something as wonderful as these!
So pretty! I love the colors.
Hello Becky! Who wouldn't be happy to have those lovely place mats! I love them and the colours and the fabrics! I see again the sweet orange slide!
Happy Valentine's day! Teje
Ps. I love hexacons...but is there an easy way to make them with sewing machine!?
oh my goodness those placemats are great! Love your hexie design and the quilting is perfect! I'm sure your partner will be thrilled to receive them!
I think your partner will be more than happy! They are beautiful.
These are gorgeous! Lucky partner!
Those are very lovely. I really like the colors you choose to use. I am thinking about asking one of the bees that I am to use those colors for my month. I will have to added your picture to my favorites on flickr :)
Seriously love these! Thanks for linking up to {Sew} Modern Monday!
:) LOVE the place mats. They are absolutely adorable. Did you end up machine piecing your hexies? I just don't know if I could finish even one if I had to do it by hand (it would be a mess of thread, blood, tears).
ALSO - your postage stamp quilt is rally pretty - I like that you chose to put your colors into rows. Very cool.
