Criss Cross Coasters

So either way you do it, you can't see the batting or bottom square then? If it works the way I am thinking you would turn the folded pieces to cover the stitched edge, and they would meet in the center of the back?. Sorry I'm so slow about this. In my head I see turning these like I roll a pair of socks together. LOL.

So glad I am not the only one Grandmama Pat. I have some cheap fabric I absolutely hate- I might just have to try it out. If I can wrap my head around it, I'll use my "nice" fabric to make Christmas gifts for mailing to friends.

And how do you get them to look like x's instead of 4 patches? I'm just a newbie.

If you look under the tutorials, I just wrote one for a simple otholder. This is the same principle but you wouldn't use the insulate batting just a thin batting.

I used a soft clear plastic square inside mine to keep moisture from going thru and no batting..
Once you take the pieces and start to do it you will see how....they are really easy...and I think adding a little ribbon and some sort of embellishment adds a nice touch

Ok, Made one with squares I already had cut and a scrap of cotton batting. Very easy, even for a newbie. It sounded and looked harder than it actually was. I'm already looking through my Christmas fat quarters to make more!! This one is my experiment to see if I could figure it out.
