Jen - These are so cute and with a folded star in coordinating fabrics it makes a great Christmas present. But I changed your instructions slightly and sewed the coasters in two steps. First I layered the background fabric, a 4 1/2" piece of batting, and the inner (not seen) fabric together as your described but I sewed an X corner to corner on the diagonal to prequilt these together. Then I followed your instructions for layering the four patch folded fabrics on top of my prequilted square, sewing and turning. Having the batting be 1/4" smaller all around made for less bulk when turning.

What a great way to use charm packs and what wonderful gifts to make - this charm pack would go great with hot coco mixes and all the goodies as a great gift! Love the idea!!!

I am a beginner and love your tutorials. This was the first project I made. I made them as gifts for a summer girls weekend using summer/beach squares. They were a hit so I then made them as gifts for a family/girls Thanksgiving shopping weekend using Christmas/Holiday squares. I also made a set for myself using the hourglass pattern. So fun!

So cute! I'm going to make some as stocking stuffers for my daughter and daughter-in-law.

Darling coasters, a great idea, and the tutorial is excellent (as always). I plan to make this with my granddaugher for her first sewing project. Thank you for sharing 😍

What a neat idea! Such a cool way to make a themed homemade gift. I’ve also seen these done in a circle instead of square

Hi, Jen! The first time I saw this coaster was at a quilt show about 15 years ago, they were given out as you came in the door. Still have mine & my sister's (she passed 2018).

These are addicting to make! After watching the video yesterday, I made several sets of coasters last night!

Cocoa prints ... so excited for this line. Great project.

Love these coasters. Made them many times. Always good to get reminded how cute they are. Thanks😊

[pamketron]

Thanks for refreshing my memory on making these. They are so nice to make as gifts. Made a lot of these years ago. Will be making some for friends & family. I just love how easy these are to make. Have a great week! 🧵✂️😊

Love that Winter holiday line! Can use it all winter versus just Christmas. I can also see this in a snowman print 😍

[nywa]

I added a ribbon and turned this into a Christmas ornament. So nice! Thank you for the tutorial!

[LaurieEggleston]

Love these so much! I make new ones each year and at Holiday Parties, I serve my wine or champagne in stemmed glasses with one of these at the base (the opening allows you to slip a wine glass base inside) to help guests keep up with their glass and also protect my furniture. I love this fabric!

What a cute project, Jen. I will be making some for Christmas presents. Thank you...
