Just an idea to get rid of your excess 2.5" strips. Cut a centre square or rectangle to whatever size u want (mine is 9.5") applique heart, star or even use a stitchery if u wish. Then border with 2.5" strips using the log cabin technique. If you have a small centre just keep adding the strips till you get the size u want.
I made 4 placemats and a matching runner for my ma-in-law for Mothers Day. The runner is just 4 blocks (same as placemat) rotated so the hearts face different directions.
Embellish with daisies, ric rac or buttons (mine is daisy lace sewn on after quilting).
This placemat is made with Scarborough Fair by Robyn Pandolph for RJR Fabrics.
Happy quilting xo
