I have a busy week this week, so thought I would challenge myself to make something small for this week's Project Quilting challenge! I loved the prompt to use our birthstone to create something, and right away thought that a gemstone coaster would be a nice project. It took just a few minutes to find a pattern by Jen Kingwell for a foundation paper pieced block in a variety of sizes. It was exactly what I was looing for!
My birthstone is Peridot. It didn't take long to pull out some green strips from my Island Batik stash and make this cute little quilt! I love that mini quilts can be quilted so quickly, I finished this up in about an hour altogether, including printing the pattern!
Another piece of green for the back. I just pressed the edges of the opening under, and they were sewn in with the edge stitching.
