I make hot pads with the layer cakes just like this but put insulbrite inside instead of just batting. Love these, they make really cute gifts
Yes! That is a wonderful suggestion. Thanks for sharing!! ❄️ ☃️ ❄️ -Michelle
I helped my 6 year old granddaughter make these over the weekend! We both had fun, & the coasters are so cute!
How wonderful!! We are very glad you were able to create some fond memories this weekend. Thank you for watching. 💖 -Michelle
This video is so helpful, whether it’s January or July. I love re-watching to refresh. Great videos all around 👏🏾❤️
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you very much for watching!! 💖 -Michelle
On the ones I've made before I cut the batting to 4 1/2 in. square and center it. When turned I give it a topstitch and that catches the edges of the batting and it makes turning and corners a breeze.
What a great suggestion! We're glad you enjoy this project 🧡🎃 -Michelle
I did the same thing but used fusible fleece instead. Worked like a charm

Another lovely video Jen - I very much enjoy your tutorials and especially when you are demonstrating these small projects, and projects that doesn't entail purchasing kits. I am currently making them for stocking fillers at Christmas. Thank you once again for a really CUTE idea. Linda x

I always love the burnt orange and autumnal shades at Halloween. Thanks for reminding us about these great little fabric coasters. How cool would they also look to personalise them too with perhaps simple initials.... ta
That's definitely a fun option!! We're glad you enjoyed this tutorial. Thank you for watching! 🧡🎃 -Michelle
Yes i agree with you
Thank you. Ive made bigger ones from. 10 inch squares. Put side plate on. Or Desert plates.
Yes! We love how versatile this pattern can be! -Michelle
I'm teaching my granddaughters to sew. What a fantastic idea for a project for them!❤👏👏👏
It's such a simple but stunning project! We'd love to see their finished photos 🧡🎃 -Michelle
@anita haecker I did just that when they were off on Columbus day!! I've had the square one (like her Valentine's ones) for years that I received as a giftie at a quilt retreat. My 12 yr old learned to sew at 7 😊 The 10 yr old has been wanting to learn as well. We did the square ones because this version wasn't posted yet & I just didn't think of it! It was my idea to make them for their teachers for Christmas. I sewed the one for the 6 yr old, but the 10 yr old sewed her 3 & the 12 yr old sewed her 9!! They were so proud of them! I just used unbleached muslin for the inside square, but I had a tub of 5" squares I let them pick from.
That is so fun Marla! We're glad you've been able to create such sweet memories with your children! -Michelle
@@ShabbyFabrics They're my granddaughters 😊
Can you quilt it so it doesn't open? Love it!
You sure can!! You can top stitch over it any way you choose!! 😍 🧡🎃 -Michelle
Hi Jen..Great pattern, thanks for sharing. Always enjoy your tutorials. Happy Halloween!!💙
We're happy you enjoyed this fun project!! Thanks for watching! 🧡🎃 -Michelle
Very cute! 🎃 I wonder if trimming the seam allowance to 1/8” before turning would help with bulk 🤔 Thanks for the fun tutorial! 👻
That's a great idea!! We're glad you enjoy this fun project! -Michelle
Fabulous 💜
We're glad you enjoy this project!! -Michelle
I love how the potholders that match look super great in the same fabric! Should we assume you used a 1/4” seam allowance for the coasters?
They sure do!! We're glad you enjoy this fun project!! 🧡🎃 -Michelle
These are super cute coasters. =^^=
Thank you!! We're glad you enjoy them! 🧡🎃 🐱-Michelle
How big would you make the blocks if you wanted to make hot pads for the kitchen?
I would suggest making them 8.5" to have an 8" finished hotpad. -Bethany
Waaa its prety cool
We're glad you enjoy this fun project 🧡🎃 -Michelle
What needle and presser foot you used for this coaster
I make mine with a flannel backed tablecloth square instead of batting and it keeps it from sweating onto your table.
What a wonderful suggestion!! Thank you for watching!! ✨ -Michelle
Well I was going to ask about your essentials then I looked at the description and I said one shop stop :)
We are glad you enjoy this fun project. Thanks for watching! Which collection will you create out of? 😍 🧡🎃 -Michelle
I learned this a long time ago for using with a stemmed wine glass. The base of the glass can be inserted into the middle making a great coaster that also identifies whose glass it is if you do different fabrics for each coaster.
Yes, that is a great benefit of these coasters! 😍 🧡🎃 -Michelle
I thought of curving the corner instead of squared. It would make it easier to turn right side out and the curved corners would be easier to turn out. Just an idea!
Deborah Pearce, it does make it a lot easier. I have made them and definitely rounding the corners makes it easier.
I would also use my pinking shears to cut the corners as it helps when you turn them through to lay flatter.
That's definitely a possibility! 😍 😎 -Michelle
Love it thanks oh by the way you’re the only one that explains which one goes to the back I like that because I did not know that❣️✂️🪡🧵💖💕
We're glad you like this tutorial! Thank you very much for your comment. -Michelle
These can also be bound, or have lace/rickrack between the layers.
Your correct
What a fun variation!! Thanks for the suggestion! 🧡🎃 -Michelle
Managing sewing the corners in diagonally folded squares should have been mentioned..to turn into the next side exactly where the different fabrics meet. One of those tips that make all the difference. After turning and pressing , topstitching using a longer stitch length 1\8" round edges makes for a neater finish.
Thank you very much for the helpful suggestion! -Michelle
I added the back piece to the front also so no one will see the batting in the middle at all :)
Great suggestion! Thank you for sharing!! 💖 -Michelle

It’s so funny you mentioned putting the wine glass into them because I thought that’s what you did with them. It never occurred to me to use them just as a coaster. Lol.
This is a pretty versatile design, and you can even gift it with a note or card inside!! -Michelle
Just skip to 3:30ish if you are watching this. The entire beginning is the usual waste of time. Please.....just get to the point!!!
Thank you for your feedback. 💖 -Michelle
Cute Jen. Thank you for such a cute quick project.
We're glad you enjoy this one. Thanks for watching!! 🧡🎃 -Michelle
