I've been making fabric coasters lately - they are so simple and so cute! Great project if you're practicing sewing straight seams. Here's one that doesn't require any hand sewing -

And here's one that's good for using up little scraps of fabric.

Thank you for posting these! I made 16 coasters from the first pattern this afternoon.....super-super-duper easy! I am going to try to make some placemats in the same manner for Christmas gifts.

This is an awesome little something to make up and have on hand for those quicky holiday gifts.

Thanks for the link!

Those are great. Thanks for the links. I especially like the first ones.

I made a set of 4 this afternoon fur. While I like the idea, they just seem a little small to me. I think I'll give this a try with some 6 1/2" squares and see how they come out. Thanks so much for posting this neat idea and link!

I made a set last week. Loved them so much that I have 48 squares cut out waiting to be sewn up so I can put a couple sets in a christmas gift.

I made a few sets myself for christmas. Did anyone make placemats out of the criss cross design? I couldnt quite figure out what the dimensions should be. Any help?

Thanks,
