Step 1:
Put two squares of color fabric right sides together. Draw a diagonal line (with a pencil) on the wrong side of one of the squares and pin on the opposite corners of the diagonal. Usingyour sewing machine and the ¼” foot, sew on each side of the diagonal at a ¼” distance. Repeat the same process with the other two pairs of color squares.

Step 2:
Using the rotary cutter or scissors, cut on the diagonal line you drew earlier. Press the seams to one side. We will now have 6 blocks.

Step 3:
Combine 3 pairs of squares again. Putting them right sides together, make sure that the seams on the diagonals match. Pin on the diagonal seam and draw a diagonal line with a pencil on the wrong side of one of the blocks. This diagonal line must go across the previous diagonal line.

Step 4:
Using your sewing machine and the ¼” foot, sew on each side of the diagonal line a seam at a ¼” distance. Repeat for the other two pairs of squares.

Step 5:
Using the rotary cutter or scissors, cut on the diagonal line you made earlier. Press the seams open. We will now have 6 blocks.

Step 6:
Now you will make the 6 coasters: set the block on a square of batting, right side up. Then, add a square of denim on top, right sides together. Pin all around.

the coaster.
