Placemats might not be something you use every day, particularly if you’re the kind of person who tends to eat on the go, standing up while you chat, or sitting by the TV so you can relax. We, however, still think they’re versatile things to have around, particularly if you have kids.
Does that mean you have to spend a fortune on fancy placemats that you’ll only use a few times a year? Of course not! Check out these 36 placemat quilt patterns that will jazz up your dinner table every time they’re used.
