Placemats Round 1

I am not entirely certain that I like these.  I found the nine-patch blocks in my closet already strip-pieced, and badly, from way back probably two moves ago.  I wanted to do something with them but every other setting looked wrong.  The dark blue was the only thing even tolerable.  Still not 100% on them, but I now have four, which will at least replace some we have that are literally falling to tatters.

They're not done, they still need binding.  I'm debating a bright yellow to brighten it back up or dark blue to wash my hands of it.  Now that I see them done I like the thought of the yellow, but we shall see what they have in the shops.  Anyway, setting them aside until I have bias tape.  I'll post again and check them off when they're done.

Thankfully I have more blues and yellows in the box, eventually I'll sort something much more French Country than this.
