Learn how to make a zigzag placemat through this tutorial byMissouri Star Quilt Company.
Sew a quarter-inch seam allowance on two opposite sides.
Step 2:
Cut into 4 equal 2.5 squares.
Do the same for the other 5 squares.
Once done, press to the darker side.
Step 3:
Start with one two-patch in one corner.
Next, get two pieces of two-patch and place them below the first one.
Align the inside squares of both of them to the one on top.
It will be a staggered design, continue adding until you reach 8 pieces of 2.5 squares.
Instead of continuing the staggering pattern downward, move it one square up.
Next, add one more row of 8 pieces of 2.5 squares and move it one square up again.
Step 6:
Sew each row first, then press each row in alternating directions.
Once done, take the first two rows and align them in the middle.
Sew them together and give them good press.
Do the same for the other rows.
After that, sew all rows together.
