QAYG braided placemats or quilt pattern

Easy instructions to make placemats or QAYG blocks for a quilt.

Dimensions and yardage for four placemats:
*five fabrics, 1/3-1/2 yard of each, cut into 2-1/2” strips. I trimmed as I went so I don’t have length dimensions.
*2-1/2 yards of backing and binding fabric, cut into four pieces, 13”x18” each. Cut binding into 2-1/2” strips. I’m sorry I don’t know how long of a binding strip I had and I don’t figure it out mathematically. I usually just take the binding and loosely lay it around the item or placemat and times it four times to see about how much length I need.
*four pieces of batting each cut to 13”x18”. I used a thin batting but use what you have or like. A great project to use up any batting scraps.
*I used thread that matched my backing fabric.
*I used my walking foot mostly on this project. It kept the fabric from moving a lot.
