I needed a small project to make quickly as a thank you gift for a special friend. I had some leftover scraps from
my table runners, so I decided to turn the strip sets into some quilted coasters. The fabrics are shot cottons paired with black Essex linen.
I used the basic construction method described in my book,
Improvising Tradition![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_vvWtNJ9zooDVHtUd8qmHMm2KHKwuIbEGogOj7FSlCbgOxQNkyzsLCe6zbUw0vkrk5xvWNPbZxour26SguqWGGJ_sWMeQGZgrm5U7PBKlIURcTyP2NAJLxkmbKKGqubWVq7aaZJf2cTQx5rgNlwxwsVdNGclE4fpNY=s0-d)
, for the Jewel Box Coaster project (although these coasters were pieced and then quilted, rather that created quilt-as-you-go). The use of insul-bright in addition to a layer of batting gives the coasters a nice rigidity while still being soft. I don't know why I haven't made more coaster sets. They are such a fun, quick project!
