Moda Bake Shop - Simply Coasters Recipe!

I think I've followed the Moda Bake Shop blog

since the day it was launched.

I love the way MBS features free tutorials that provide

all kinds of inspiring ideas for using 

all of the yummy Moda precuts!

Today one of my quilting dreams is coming true...

I'm a featured chef on Moda Bake Shop!

Presenting...Simply Colorful Coasters!

I first came up with my project plan 

while I was sewing the Anita Vacation Tote Bag.

I had these cute little perfect squares, lined with fusible fleece.

They weren't exactly "scraps" but I couldn't bear to throw them away.

In a few minutes I came up with a plan to make them into coasters,

and here's the result.

I made more, and I submitted the idea to Moda Bake Shop.

This time I chose my charm pack of Recipe for Friendship by Mary Englebreit.

Pretty soon I was drawing up the recipe for Simply Colorful Coasters,

made from a fabulous layer cake of Simply Color by V and Co!

I chose gray Bella Solid yardage as a background,

to let the colors play.

I selected 8 of the prints from the spinach and navy colorways.

Here are some glamour shots, just for your entertainment.

I posed the finished coasters in a pinwheel...

And all stacked up...

{I love that pinking edgy goodness!}

And I couldn't resist another closeup of that pinwheel!

If you are still with me at this point,

I'd like to offer the original Simply Color coaster set as a prize

to one lucky reader!

{I'm not gonna lie...I've got enough of the fabrics left over to make a set for myself to keep.  That's the only reason I'm parting with these!}

All you need to do to enter the drawing is

to make a comment below, on this post,

telling me what else you'd love to see on Moda Bake Shop.

{I need thoughts and inspiration for a new recipe!}

I'll announce the winner on Monday, November 19th.
