      Lesson 1

      Folded Four-Patch Coasters

      SPECIFICATIONS

      Coaster: 4½ x 4½

      WHAT YOU NEED

      Materials listed make one coaster.

      •5 different (5") precut squares in the same color family

      •1 (5") square of batting

      •Neutral-color all-purpose thread

      •Basic sewing tools and supplies

      COMPLETING THE COASTER

      Stitch right sides together using a ¼" seam allowance unless otherwise indicated.

      1. Fold four of the 5" precut squares in half wrong sides together, as shown in Figure 1, and press. Mark with numbers 1–4 and set aside.

      2. Position the last 5 precut square right side up on top of the 5 square of batting matching the edges as shown in Figure 2 to make a batting/backing unit.

      3. Position folded square 1 across the top half of the batting/backing unit matching cut edges (Figure 3). Pin in place.

      4. Position folded square 2 on top of the first folded square matching cut edges with the right side of the batting/backing unit as shown in Figure 4. Pin in place.

      5. Position folded square 3 across the bottom of the batting/backing unit and on top of folded square 2 as shown in Figure 5 matching cut edges. Pin in place.

      6. Remove the pin from folded square 1 and fold un-pinned section back over the upper right corner of folded square 2 as seen in Figure 6a.

      7. Position folded square 4 on the left side of the batting/backing unit matching cut edges as seen in Figure 6b.

      8. Unfold folded square 1 to cover the top left corner of folded square 4 as shown in Figure 6c and pin around outside edges to hold.

      9. Stitch ¼" away from all outer edges, pivoting at each corner (Figure 7). Remove all pins.

      Quilter’s Seams

      Quilter’s want a seam that is the same width the entire length of the seam. Sewing a consistent seam is easy if you take your time and follow these instructions.

      • Pin through all layers close to the raw edges.

      • Position the raw edges on the ¼" mark on your sewing machine bed under the presser foot and needle.

      • Lower the
