Update on the Easter placemats: progress to date

Hello, everyone.

There have been fewer posts lately, because the placemats and other things have been using up time a lot.
This is one of the placemats pinned-up for quilting.
The quilting scheme begins with sewing in-the-ditch where the top is pieced. Then, as seen in the picture below, other elements are added.









The name of the person who will use the placemat goes onto the light blue stripe. After the name was sewn in purple, another color of quilting thread was used to stabilize the stripe (it's one of the wider stripes) and underline the name.
After that, a zigzag was quilted onto the green strip and lengthwise lines added to the purple one. Finally a row of stitching around the edge was done, just inside the marked cutting line.

As y'all will remember, there is binding to be added yet. I expect that all of the binding on the ribbon spool will be used, and also more that hasn't been cut from fabric yet.

Easter is just about two weeks away, and the (fourteen) placemats aren't completed, so there may be a slow posting rate for some little while yet.
