quilted coasters



Enjoyed this lovely little tutorial on coasters
http://londonmqg.wordpress.com/2012/11/12/scrappy-coaster-tutorial/
Thanks to  Charlotte

Adapted it a little, did not piece, and used normal cotton batting, basting it to back piece, and removing basting once first round of edge topstitching done
In fact got a bit carried away ( are we surprised )
24 coasters later, have decided I must give it a break
Only so many you can give any one person 
Started randomly



                        made a pinky palette set for Sister Number 1



 some funky ones for Sister number 3 who has little ones at home
(Sister number 2 tends  not use coasters but she's getting cushions for Christmas)



lastly some for my mother , this time all same topside but with different coloured backs






its a great tutorial as it results in a nice neat coaster, always a challenge with small quilty objects!
