Originally I was making four coasters, but then I remembered four is bad luck in Japan, so I made a fifth. The finished size is about 5 1/2" by 5 1/2".
The result is even better than I expected. These coasters are flat, and won't make a class or cup wobble, but are still thick enough to soak up any droplets and protect the table top. Yes, the backing is so cute - this will be a perfect gift for someone in/from Shizuoka. Good of you to remember that 4 is an unlucky number. You have soaked up such a lot of Japanese culture!
Very cute! I absolutely thing the back fabric is perfect for these too. I wonder why 4 is back luck.
