Thank you. My living room is pale green with dark oak floor and pale oak furniture. The accent colour is fuschia pink. My hubby went spare when he heard what I was doing, but loves it now.

I might make more as well. They use up scraps and I even piced together the batting to make them!

I would love to make this as gifts for people. Do you have a pattern for the coaster holder?

The whole thing is in the book " I love patchwork". But the holder is made using a square 2.5" bigger than the coaster. If finished coasters are 4", then including seam allowance you need a square of 6.5". Layer the material, batting, material right side up, then on top material right side down. Sew through all layers 1/4" seam allowance, leave a 2" gap for turning. Clip, turn and sew gap. Then edge stitch all way round. Now you need to sew a square of 4" in the centre. I used my rule and drew a line 1" from the edge and sewed that line. This will define the walls. Now pinched the corners together one at a time and tack together with thread. Hope that helps. They would make great presents, because they only took a couple of hours. Let me know how you get on

Thanks so much for the instructions! This I can definitely make. Thinking of making these for my first christmas craft show. I think I may pick up the book "I love Patchwork" also. I had a chance to glance at some of the pages on line and it looks like it has some nice simple projects. I will post a pic if I make this. Thanks again!
