The Patchwork Coasters pattern will be making a come-back soon! It was retired because I stopped doing one step (grading the seam - step 5.d) so the pattern needed new photos and a major update. It takes a huge amount of time to take all new photos, edit them, and put the pattern back together so that is usually the sign it's time for a pattern to be retired.
But I can't stop making these and each time I do people want the pattern, so I'm redoing it and it will be available again soon.
In the meantime, here is another bright, cheerful and so very spring coaster for inspiration or to purchase.
The fabrics I used for this one are:
Bee Mine by Liz Mytinger for Paintbrush Studio - I have made many coasters with this bee print! The bees are nicely spaced for fussy cutting and bees are the perfect starter piece to accompany a mix of floral prints.
Rhapsody by Sedef Imer for Riley Blake - Flowers, flowers, flowers...I can't get enough of them and this bouquet print has been a favorite. It's another great one for fussy cutting and each little sprig has multiple colors that work really well with my quilting cotton stash.
Sunshine Inn by Lysa Flower for PBS Fabrics - This is such a fun, groovy vibe print. The colors scream 1970s and the variety of colors make it perfect for patchwork.
Flower Patch from Michael Miller - This tiny print floral fabric has really served me well for patchwork. I'd love to have more of this one. The blue seems to be gone now, but green and orange are still available (probably not for long - there are only a few listings on etsy).
Housecoat in Sunshine from Homestead by April Rosenthal for Moda Fabrics - I obviously have a thing for April Rosenthal fabrics and have several in my fabric collection. This yellow gingham and floral print also shows up a lot in my patchwork.
Lily of the Valley from Michael Miller - This fabric is just lovely and the widely spaced floral elements give it a more calm feel than the super packed prints that I tend to collect.
