The Joyful Quilter has a challenge, linked to the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, to use scraps to make something for a table in the colour of the month. This month's colour is red, and my aim has been to use some of my red crumbs to make a place mat. Crumbs, by their nature are very small, and my chosen method is more labour intensive than I anticipated.
At 12" x 4" this is hardly a placemat!
My first attempts were not successful (fine lines not fine enough),
but narrowing the "sashing" and making a strip worked better and I managed to move it all along much more quickly.
Unfortunately, not quickly enough to meet this deadline, but I shall probably get a top finished in the next few days.

Keep safe and healthy
Happy sewing

You got the fine lines. Now it will be faster.
Looking forward for seeing your pretty table runner, Marly. The challenge will be open till Monday.
Happy and safe weekend
Nice job on trying a new technique for this month's Challenge entry, Marly. I hope you are having fun with it! I saw Deb's post, but was busy chasing another squirrel. Maybe some other time...
I love how this looks--nice work on those fine lines...hugs, Julierose
It's fun to see you playing with this technique. I love seeing what you created! It does take a little getting used to, doesn't it?! Beautiful result tho.
I’m impressed with your progress on this new technique. The visual results are a treat for the eyes and I can’t wait to see it completed!
That's going to be pretty! Love the red scraps with lime green. It's always fun to try something new, too.
That technique looks a bit challenging! I might have to check it out though! Love the look!
I'm not sure I'd be up to this technique but WOW! Is it pretty! Love the green you used for the fine lines.
Looks like a fun technique and a great way to use up small scraps of fabric! Christine xx
