How
to Make County Raggedy Heart Coasters
 You will fall in love with
these cute raggedy heart coasters. Scraps of fabric and quilt
batting is all you need to complete this adorable project. |
 |
First you will need to
make yourself a heart pattern from paper. The heart should measure
about 4".
Cut four squares of
fabric measuring 5 1/2 ".
Pin and cut out the four
hearts. |
 |
To make a set of four
coasters you will need eight 6 1/2" squares of fabric for the
coasters, and four 4 1/2" squares of quilt batting for the inside of
the coasters. |
 |
Place one
quilt batting in-between two 6 1/2" squares, just like a "sandwich",
with the pretty sides of the fabric facing out.
Pin one heart on the top, in the center of
the "sandwich" as shown in the photo.
Stitch around the heart using a 1/4"
seam allowance.
|
 |
Stitch
around the outer edge of your "sandwich" using a 1" seam allowance.
Do this to all four "sandwiches."
Notice in the photo the stitching
around the heart and around the outer edge of the "sandwich." |
 |
In order
for your coaster to "rag" well, cut slits around your heart and the
outer edge of the coaster making sure you do not cut into your
stitching. The smaller the slits and closer together, the better
the coasters will "rag." |
|
|
Wash your
coasters in the washer under the setting of "Cold/Cold." Dry your
coaster in the dryer under the "Low" setting.
Your coasters should be nice and raggedy!
Great Job! |
