some scraps of Warm and Natural bat-ting and some simple strips can become a placemat (or a rug, table runner or mug rug, depending on the size). If you always wondered what to do with all those really small scraps, this is the answer. or maybe you just want to try out some of those decorative stitches on your machine. either way, a sturdy mat will be the result.
