Simple placemats

I cut some "I do too" and "Dandy damask" by Michael Miller into 12x17 rectangles, 3 of each fabric.  Then I cut some leftover batting to be just smaller than the fabric.  I layered one of each fabric right sides together with the batting on top and sewed 1/4 inch all the way around leaving 3 inches for turning.  Once turned, I pressed my seams and topstitched close to the edge.  Then going the opposite direction to avoid curl, I used the edge of my presser foot against the topstitch as a guide and made another lap.
