I'm using leftover scrap yarn from crocheting seat cushions, to make these cup coasters in my very few spare minutes of time (which is about a few nights a week now, ha ha).
I think these placemats will look nice when I finish them all. It will work until I have a day to antique shop for some long tablecloths (in spring colors). I made them as large as our largest dinner plates. The width is good, but I could crochet less rows and still make them fit nicely.
