Looking for a fun, modern quilting project that’s both quick and practical? Try the tumbling transparency placemat! This clever design uses overlapping fabric squares to create a cool see-through effect – like layers of color blending into each other. It’s a great way to play with color value and makes a stylish statement on your table. Use darker fabric for the background so it hides spills better, and go progressively lighter with the overlapping squares to really nail that transparency illusion. With just two fat quarters, a few squares, and a bit of batting, you’ll whip up one in no time. Make a whole set for entertaining or as a thoughtful handmade gift!
