A recent inventory of the coiled fabric bowls showed that there was a lack of monochromatic items. Monochromatic items have sold well in the past so time to put some into inventory for the Garlic and Arts Festival which is coming up in 3 weeks. I had many fabrics to choose from but it was difficult to decided on which ones would look best together. A nice (and productive) way of experimenting with how different fabrics will look together before committing to an entire bowl is to make a coaster. After making 4 coasters, I knew exactly which 4 fabrics I wanted to use for the bowl. I also had some nice variegated black.gray/white thread to use which really looked great. It had also been awhile since I had made a V shaped bowl so that is the shape I chose to make.
