Piped Placemat

This was a fun afternoon project. I found this fabric in the bargain bin at the local fabric store and thought it might make a cool placemat or a hot pad for the table.
I used regular muslin on the back, and between, cotton batting. The piping I made from pre-cut bias tape and regular cording. This placemat sort of reminds me of summer in Florida.
Check out the awesome foot I found at a second hand store. It makes easy work of projects like this.
