Snow Day Project

It’s been pretty snowy here in the NW the last few days, so I thought I would make some fun coasters while I waited for the snow to melt.
I made these by simply tracing an old circular coaster I had laying about. I used some spare fat quarters, and some loose batting. This was a fun project because I cut the bias tape, and ironed it myself instead of buying pre-made. I pressed, and patiently pinned the tape around each one so that I could top stitch it in place.I know it seems like a silly thing to make, but because they are soft and cotton they absorb a lot of moister, and they are so light you can throw them around on any surface, and of course they are machine washable. 

Very fun.
