Patchwork & Quilting

Quilted Coasters

BY LINDA CLEMENTS

You Will Need:

Fabric for coaster top:

Nine pieces 5.7cm × 5.7cm (2¹⁄4in × 2¹⁄4in), Tilda Christmas House Folklore Red, Tanya Whelan Delilah Paisley Green, Tanya Whelan Delilah Dots Pink and Tilda Cotton Fabric White

Fabric for coaster back:

One piece 15.2cm × 15.2cm (6in × 6in), Tanya Whelan Delilah Dots Pink

Wadding (batting)

Dark pink and green stranded cotton (floss), DMC colours 309 and 319

1. Take the four polka dot squares, the four print squares and the white square and arrange as shown in the photograph. Using 6mm (¹⁄4in) seams, sew the nine squares together. Press the seams.

2. Copy the quilting pattern and tape it to a window. Tape the patchwork on top, right side up, so the pattern shows through in the middle of the patchwork. Use a pencil to lightly trace the quilting pattern onto the fabric.

3. Take the 15.2cm (6in) square of wadding and safety pin on the back
