Scrap Quilt Placemats

I have a placement issue.  Mostly I don't like to use them!  But we have a new dining room table and three kids that like to make messes, so I have bought a few plain boring ones.  I need something much more fun, and love these that  I found on Craft Gossip:

(Again, I am pretending that I know how to sew, but the good thing about these is that as long as I cut the final piece down to a square I think it will be okay!)

Craft Gossip found the tutorial on Noodlehead, but you can see the full tutorial at Pink Penguin.
