Placemat Patterns

Our placemat patterns help you sew a beautiful, coordinated table for everyday meals and holiday gatherings. Each quilted placemat pattern is a quick, rewarding project, and most designs pair with a matching table runner so you can make a complete table set from one pattern.

Choose from log cabin placemats, braided strip designs, floral Christmas placemats and festive appliqué sets in colors for fall, Christmas, winter and farmhouse kitchens. Because placemats are flat and quick to quilt, they are also a relaxed way to practice new piecing and quilting techniques before you move on to a bigger quilt.

Placemat pattern FAQ

What size is a standard placemat?

A common placemat size is about 12 by 18 inches, which fits a dinner plate, glass and cutlery. Each pattern lists its own finished size, so check the details before you cut.

What fabric is best for quilted placemats?

Quilting-weight 100% cotton is the best choice. It is easy to piece, holds up to washing and pairs well with a thin cotton batting so the placemats lie flat.

Can I make placemats and a table runner from the same pattern?

Yes. Many patterns in this collection include both. You can also browse our full range of table runner patterns.
