Play mat ๐Ÿšฉ + Free 2026 QAL ๐Ÿ”Ž + Link party Patchwork & Quilts #290 (Jan 03) ๐Ÿ“Œ๐ŸŽ‰

Bonne annรฉe 2026 ! Bienvenue ร  la rencontre hebdomadaire Patchwork & Quilts !
Happy New Year 2026! Welcome to the weekly Patchwork & Quilts link party!

⭐⭐๐Ÿšฉ⭐⭐

Aprรจs l'รฉlรฉphant et les oreilles de lapin, j'ai commencรฉ ร  prรฉparer une guirlande de fanions pour un des 2 tapis d'รฉveil que j'ai prรฉvu de faire en vue des deux futures naissances dans la famille.
Voici donc les fanions :

After the elephant and bunny ears, I started making a bunting garland for one of the two play mats I plan to make for the two future births in the family.
So here are the flags:
Ce sont des triangles de 10 cm de long avec une base de 9 cm. Les tailles des fanions semblent diffรฉrentes mais c'est bien le mรชme patron qui a รฉtรฉ utilisรฉ pour chacun d'eux !
Pour l'instant ils sont รฉpinglรฉs au mur tels quels, ils seront ensuite reliรฉs par un biais que je ferais soit avec le tissu girafes qui est en dessous, soit un tissu noir.

They are triangles measuring 10 cm long (4'') with a base of 9 cm (3.5''). The sizes of the pennants appear to be different, but the same pattern was used for each one! For now, they are pinned to the design wall as they are, but they will then be connected by a bias that I will make either with the giraffe fabric underneath or with black fabric.
De gauche ร  droite, on retrouve les tissus utilisรฉs pour le tapis d'รฉveil : 
minky, polaire, velours ๐Ÿ‘†
tissu coton, tissu รฉponge, satin ๐Ÿ‘‡

From left to right, here are the fabrics used for the play mat: 
minky, fleece, velvet ๐Ÿ‘†
cotton fabric, terry cloth, satin ๐Ÿ‘‡
Pour l'instant chaque fanion a รฉtรฉ cousu et surpiquรฉ, sans rien ร  l'intรฉrieur. Est-ce que j'ajouterais du papier bruissant dans certains ? Du molleton ? A rรฉflรฉchir ๐Ÿ˜‹

For now, each flag has been sewn and topstitched, with nothing inside. Should I add some crinkly paper to some of them? Some batting? Something to think about ๐Ÿ˜‹

Reprise de ma veille des quilt alongs et autres blocs du mois proposรฉs en ligne en 2026. La semaine derniรจre j'en ai repรฉrรฉ plusieurs, certains gratuits, d'autres payants. Ceux-lร  sont alors indiquรฉs par le signe๐Ÿ’ฒque je note aprรจs le nom et nรฉcessitent d'acheter le patron ou de payer l'inscription.
Parmi les gratuits il y a celui de Kat de Scrapbox Quilts, A Quilters Cove. Kat nous invite ร  crรฉer un quilt avec des maisons colorรฉes : 

Continuing my roundup of quilt-alongs and other blocks of the month available online in 2026. Last week, I spotted nine, some free, others paid. The paid ones are indicated by the symbol ๐Ÿ’ฒ that I note after the name and require purchasing the pattern or paying the registration fee.
Among the free ones is Kat's from Scrapbox Quilts, A Quilters Cove. Kat invites us to create a RSC Neighborhood quilt:

Stats de la semaine รฉcoulรฉe :
๐ŸŽฏ Je garde le mรชme objectif cette annรฉe : faire de la couture deux jours par semaine, au moins 15 minutes ร  chaque fois. Je participe ainsi ร  "Stitching Stuff", organisรฉ par Kate.
C’est un rythme qui me semble raisonnable et qui s’adapte bien ร  mon travail, aux entraรฎnements sportifs et aux imprรฉvus du quotidien. Toute journรฉe supplรฉmentaire sera du bonus !
๐Ÿšฉ⏩ Cette semaine j'ai cousu ⓪ jour. 
Je suis tout juste de retour ร  la maison aprรจs les fรชtes, mais la couture va bientรดt reprendre ! La guirlande de fanions a รฉtรฉ commencรฉe avant de partir en vacances ๐Ÿ˜‹

Past week's numbers:
๐ŸŽฏ I'm sticking with the same goal this year: sewing two days a week, for at least 15 minutes each time. I'm taking part in "Stitching Stuff" organized by Kate. It's a pace that seems reasonable to me and fits in well with my work, sports training, and the unexpected events of everyday life. Any extra days will be a bonus!
๐Ÿšฉ⏩ This week I sewed ⓪ day.
I've just gotten back home after the holidays, but sewing will soon resume! I started the bunting garland before going on vacation ๐Ÿ˜‹

I look forward to seeing your bunting. That play mat is precious! I thought the elephant was my favorite and now I see the flags! Yes to adding batting to some and crinkly paper to some!
Rebecca Grace a dit…
The play mat and bunting set are a wonderful idea and I love the different fabric textures you have selected for little fingers to explore! I'll bet the thickness of some of those fabrics caused their seams to take up more space than the flatter fabrics like satin and cotton, and that would explain why the flags cut from the same pattern appear to be different sizes. I would not have noticed if you had not pointed it out and it doesn't detract from the project at all. I love the idea of adding stuffing and crinkly paper inside some of the flags! What about a piece of a crumpled water bottle? I have seen those used in dog toys for the crackling sound they make when the plush toy is squeezed.

Definitely add some crinkle to them!! So cute.
Kate a dit…
Definitely add some texture to the bunting. Those are going to be such fun play mats. Good luck with your stitching plans in 2026.
Bonsoir Frรฉdรฉrique, tes drapeaux sont trรจs mignons, surtout avec les diffรฉrents tissus. J'aime beaucoup le tissu des giraffes :-) Bonne chance la semaine prochaine pour le retour ร  toutes les choses quotidiennes. Bises.
Liz A. a dit…
Oooh, crinkly paper. That would just give those that extra something. I can imagine little fingers playing with that for years to come.

A play mat is a great idea. The Little people learn through play as they discover the world.
Carol Andrews a dit…
Happy New Year Frederique. Your bunting is cute. I’d ad some batting or crinkly papers to the bunting to have a real variety of texture besides the different fabrics. They will be a sweet addition to the play mats. Thank you for hosting the linky party again this year. ๐Ÿ˜
