MINI QUILT TUTORIAL for mug rugs and coasters
November 7, 2012 by Teje
Hi! Tutorial for coasters and mug rugs is ready. When I made these coasters I realized that even it’s so small project, it has all the same basics as a big quilt. I took lots of photos and now I hope that you find this tutorial helpful. If you haven’t made any quilt yet, but would like to try, I hope this little patchwork inspires you to start!
This time I have made the tutorial so that you can upload or print it. Because this is my first time using this method, I would love to hear your opinions. All the feedback is welcome – if there is anything you think should be explained better or any mistakes, please let me know.
This link will take you to the tutorial:
I made these coasters with small patchwork block. Squares are 2″ x 2 “. There is white around and the backing is white. Binding is double foulded quilt binding.
First coasters I made, where with raw edge applique. I had made the ‘Butterflies’ quilt and it gave me idea to use that theme also for coasters.
There is endles way to make these tiny quilts! Fabrics, prints, colours, binding, quilting … all these change the look!
I made the tutorial with the patchwork block, but it’s very easy to make also something with raw edge applique. Just take a piece of fabric, cut any picture or shapes you like, and stitch them around as you like.
If you are interested about tutorial for raw edge applique, please let me know and I shall make that, too.
Enjoy making mini quilts and coasters! If you make some, I would love to see them!
Have a wonderful time and hope to see you soon!

Wow, Teje. You are so talented. You should be selling your patterns—they are so good.
Thank you so much Sage! I might do some patterns in winter for example for that bigger green-white bag, which is more complicated to do. Have a great weekend, dear Sage! x Teje & Nero

The mini quilt coasters are adorable and I am going to make some. If I like how mine turn out, I may make some for Christmas presents. I love reading your posts and I thank you for all the tutorials you have posted. Kiss your fur-babies for me. They are beautiful, and I know they give you a lot of love. I do not have any, but my daughter has a beautiful black Lab that I call my grand puppy…8-)
