Inside out patchwork

I'm about half way through making the placemats and have put the tops together. I've never done piecing on a small scale like this and I like the geometry of the backs very much!

I suppose it would be very impractical and the edges wouldn't look crisp for long, but it would be neat to have a quilt like this!

  1. You're right, eventually you'd end up with a rag quilt! (without all the snippy bits)

  2. Perhaps you could make a wall hanging quilt or even framed textile art piece. I love the backs of small pieced fabrics, too. Always wondering how I can incorporate it into an everyday item, but not so practical, hey!
    Can't wait to see the finished right side out. What fabrics are you using?
