Step 2: Sewing

1. Select two squares with different prints. 
2. Pin them, right sides together, and sew a 1/4-inch seam along one edge. 
3. Press seam to one side.

Continue making pairs, pinning them, and sewing them together until all of the squares have been used.

 

Working with one square pair, choose a 4 1/2-inch rectangle that matches one of the squares. 

1. Right sides together, pin the rectangle to the squares.
2. Sew a 1/4-inch seam along the pinned edge. 
   
3. Press seam to one side. 

Continue with remaining rectangles until you have twelve 4 1/2-inch squares.

I need a picture of the finished coaster. I do not understand how the rectangle is sewn without having an unfinished edge. Thank you

Hi Jooe Ann-

Unfortunately there are no finished pictures of these coasters. This is a very old project and we actually thought it had been hidden from view because it's not up to our current standards. But here is a link to the complete pattern. You should be able to finish them with all of the instructions: http://purlbee.squarespace.com/party-prep-coasters/

Thanks for your question and sorry we couldn't be more helpful.
