Frustration.

I made the mistake of looking through the flickr pool of the coaster swap I joined and I really wish I hadn’t! My carefully chosen fabrics suddenly seemed uninspired and dull. So I spent the last few days making these:

I had never tried making a log cabin patchwork before and enjoyed choosing the fabrics and sewing them together. I was feeling proud of my effort until I washed them and they fell apart… I’m not sure what happened but I’m glad I did wash them before sending them off to my swap partner. I’ll be taking them to my mum’s in a few weeks for a post mortem.

  1. I think your quilted coasters are beautiful. I love the colors, the way you pieced the fabrics together, and the way you put your heart into every detail.
