Border Practice and a Coffee and Cookie Coaster

 I continue cutting strips for the house quilt border. 



I've never tried making this border, so I decided to try making a practice strip to see how it works.



I turned the practice piece into a coaster that will hold a cup and a cookie.The size is about 7 inches by 5 1/2 inches. Here it is, front and back.




I need to cut some more strips for the quilt, but I think this will work out.

    Cute use of your practice piece!

    I think that will make a good border.

    That will make a great border and you have a bonus mug rug too.

    A coffee and cookie coaster would be a good project for your stitch group. Hand piecing I guess, though.

    I like the fabric combo and the Mug mat is really attractive.

    I have always liked that pattern for a border. Great practice piece.

    That's a pretty cool border, I'm looking forward to seeing the big version of it!
