I recently got a bug in my bonnet telling me that I could really use a design wall for my scrappy quilt projects that I love to sort of let come together as I go.

I made 4 different blocks, using fabrics from the Pioneer Woman collection. Then I cut each block into quarters, and stitched a quarter of each block into a center square block. I then used some of the extra strips I'd cut to make side pieces. placemats I finished 8 of these placemat tops. I…
