two 10″x3.5″ strips of fabric for sides
1 small pieces of fabric for bone
one 18″x10″ piece of fabric for back
one 18″x10″ piece of quilt batting
basic sewing supplies

Next pin and cut one dog bone to use as an appliqué for your dog placemat. (If you are familiar with heatbond, you may use that to hold the bone in place before you sew it on.)

We will be appliquéing the bone in place. Place the bone, pretty side up, in the center of the center top piece of fabric which is also pretty side up. Pin in place. Zigzag stitch as close the edge of the bone as possible.

Place the quilt batting flat on the table. On top of that place the backing of your mat with the pretty side up, last, place the top of your place mat pretty side down as shown in the photo. Pin around the edges, leaving an opening at the bottom as shown in the photo. Stitch 1/4″ seam allowance around the mat making sure you leave an opening at the bottom.
