I joined Ibby Bee's Coaster Swap. I decided to do a Project Spectrum theme and dug around my fabric stash (yes, I have one of those, too) for red fabrics. These were simple to make and satisfying. I even made a second set for a hostess gift for a weekend dinner party.
I used an antique linen napkin with red trim for the backs. The front of the second set is fabric from Provence; coasters are a perfect project to use just a little of my precious French fabric, yet still let the fabric have a nice impact.
I'll be making many more of these, I predict!

I am the lucky girl who received these beautiful coaster.
First time you've made them?
Great job. Love the fabrics and the story of how you picked it.
Thanks so much. I'll post on my blog soon.
