Feed Sack Placemat Quilt

A few months ago, I was looking through my quilt magazines and books and came across an interesting place mat pattern. The pattern used triangles of feed sack fabric with triangles of a solid. I decided to expand the pattern into a quilt.

First, I created a picture of what I wanted.

The place mat was equivalent to one of the larger squares with 1/4 of each of the surrounding squares. Using the 2 big squares to 4 smaller squares technique,  I started making the triangles.

Once I had all the mini squares cut, I started laying out the pattern.

It was a lot of sewing and a lot of lining up, but I'm very happy with the finished quilt.
