Stitch right sides together using a " seam allowance unless otherwise indicated.

Fold four of the 5" precut squares in half wrong sides together, as shown in Figure 1, and press. Mark with numbers 14 and set aside.

Position the last 5" precut square right side up on top of the 5" square of batting matching the edges as shown in Figure 2 to make a batting/backing unit.

Position folded square 1 across the top half of the batting/backing unit matching cut edges (Figure 3). Pin in place.

Position folded square 2 on top of the first folded square matching cut edges with the right side of the batting/backing unit as shown in Figure 4. Pin in place.

Position folded square 3 across the bottom of the batting/backing unit and on top of folded square 2 as shown in Figure 5 matching cut edges. Pin in place.

Remove the pin from folded square 1 and fold un-pinned section back over the upper right corner of folded square 2 as seen in Figure 6a.

Position folded square 4 on the left side of the batting/backing unit matching cut edges as seen in Figure 6b.

Unfold folded square 1 to cover the top left corner of folded square 4 as shown in Figure 6c and pin around outside edges to hold.

Stitch " away from all outer edges, pivoting at each corner (Figure 7). Remove all pins.

Trim each corner by cutting off some of the seam allowance on the diagonal (Figure 8). Be careful not to cut through the stitching. Trimming the corner will help make sharp, pointed corners after turning right side out.

Push the batting/backing to the right side through the folded squares. Carefully push the coaster points out with a pencil or pen. Press coaster flat.

Make more coasters by gathering the materials listed for each coaster to be made and repeat all assembly steps.

Cut one 14" square from the coordinating fat quarter.

Arrange the nine 5" precut squares in three rows of three squares each as shown in Figure 1.

Note: You can rearrange the squares in the rows to make your own color arrangement and design.

Stitch the first row of squares right sides together along one side using a " seam allowance (Figure 2). Press the seam allowances to one side. Go to Pressing on page 31 for tips.
