Two For One

I just finished this reversible mat for my living room coffee table. While playing around with placement of the segments in Maple Leaf die, I discovered a southwest style that looks great for fall.


Sedona Maple uses terra cotta and cream prints, with a bit of navy added using 3” half square triangles. Final size is 35” x 24” and fits perfectly on the table.



For the reverse side, I stitched up Crossed Canoe blocks in blue batik with cream, adding rotary cut navy borders to fill out the size. This side is called Moonlight Canoes. 


I quilted in cream thread with a wave ruler, then sewed on navy binding with a serpentine stitch. 




Fun, quick, and simple...two little quilt tops made into one using Accuquilt.
