Coaster anyone?

     After a lengthy phone conversation last week with my friend Margaret, who makes fabric bowls, I figured it was time to try again.  Since the most challenging part of making the bowls is the starting and the finishing, it was suggested to make coasters until I got more adept at it. This would give me LOTS more practice at starting and finishing...makes sense to me.  The other words of wisdom is that Margaret NEVER cuts the ends of the strips at a 45 degree angle.  Made this coaster today and YEAH, it is easier minus the 45 degree angle..   It takes two strips (width of fabric) to make a coaster.  I get to start and finish and then on to the next, over and over again because practice makes perfect.
