Just coastin' along

Lately all I've been making are coasters. I've enjoyed them because they're so simple and quick. I don't feel bogged down by a large project They started out as a cute valentine's day gift for a few people and grew and grew.

Sock monkey polka dots with appliquéd heart out of more sock monkey fabric.

I couldn't resist these two fat quarters because I knew they'd make some adorable 50's esque coasters.
I also tried my hand at the Criss Cross Coasters by Allsorts. These are painfully simple but all the cutting kicked my behind. It requires 6 squares per coaster and while that's not too hard, all that math made my brain hurt late at night.

And the coaster that started it all. An appliqué heart out of the Prints Charming Fabric I had left over from my sister in law's bag.


I have been working on other things but I'll wait to show those later. Hope everyone is having a wonderful Spring Break!! I know I am.

I love the martini coasters. You know, coasters are quite useful and I need to make some myself.
