Do you also have several blocks somewhere in your stash which you have made on a workshop to learn particular technique, or you just made one too many ?? I had several of them! So while my mum was here she helped me to turn them into coasters! Yes some of them might be little bit bigger for just a cup of tea or coffee, but on the other hand there is also space for a biscuit!!
They are easy and fast to do, you can use up little scraps of wadding and for backing little off-cuts of fabrics you don’t really like that much (or that was at least my case) I also have a box full of strips which were leftover binding or strips for borders etc. So we rummaged through that to find matching binding. And my mum had a great time quiltign them. She kept telling me to do it myself, because I would do it so much better, but I insisted, that she has to practice on something and that this is the best thing to practice on!!
I really love them and am so grateful my mum helped me make them! They will be used on our classes, under coffee or tea for the students, I’m sure they will be lovely inspiration for them!

Actually that is so true! Every time I look at them I will see the projects which preceded. And they will be a keepsake just because my mum quilted them!!

Excellent use of scraps and test pieces, Vendulka ~ it’s so satisfying when you can do that! I have lots of crocheted scrumbles which I’m (always!) planning to turn into something ~ I was going to make a big throw for the bed but after seeing these beautiful coasters, I think I might make much smaller cushion covers instead! 🙂
