Take a curtain......

and make some placemats.

 I slit the curtain panel lengthwise in half.  I loaded top and bottom onto my longarm with batting and quilted.

 I cut the quilted piece into 4 ovals and I still have some left for a topper of some kind. When my friend decides to leave the sun,sand, and fish tacos (I'm dreaming again), then she'll let me know what size topper she wants.

 I then made a bias binding cutting 2 1/4" strips.  That's a little narrower than quilt binding.

And now there are 4 nice, new, out of old, placemats
