My friend, Jimmie, recently visited her family and came back with some coasters someone made---her Grandma I think. Anyway, I think they are just the cutest little things. My granddaughter has a little pink tea set and she has been carrying these coasters around like they are pot holders for her teapot. If I had a sewing machine I think I could figure out how to make them. The strips of fabric are folded over strips overlapped...the only stitching is the seam of the square.
