You Will Need
-
Step 1
Cut 8 squares from interesting fabric
Pin 4 of the squares onto the filling ( the felt/think fabric)and cut out.
(I cut 8 squares for 4 coasters due to the coasters being double-sided)
(I used some felt I found laying about to pad the coaster out... but you could use any old thick fabric)
-
Step 2
I then sandwiched the padding fabric by pinning the interesting fabric on the top and bottom.
You want to pin with good sides facing out at you.
Make sure all of the sides and corners are lined up.
-
Step 4
With the zig-zag stitch securing the 'sandwich' of fabric, I continued to 'quilt' the coasters.
To created the 'quilted' look I sewed in graduating squares; getting smaller the further centred they are and finished with an X sewed in middle.
You could 'quilt' and sort of pattern, for example;
* Diagonal lines
* Continuous line spiralling inwards* Lots of small 'X's
Yes... denim would be nice and particularly resilient/hard wearing!
