Need a hostess gift?  There is no time left for an elaborate project?

Christmas is coming upon us rapidly. Yikes!

The below project is super easy, a very useful gift and it will cost you very little.  4 wee coasters and a nice candle votive wrapped in basket wrap.

What you will need
How to make them:
 1.  Make Littte Quilt Sandwiches: Lay batting down on a hard surface, lay fabric on top of the batting with the top fabric and backing fabric right sides together on top of the batting
2. Sew 1/4" around the perimeter of your quilt sandwich, leaving a 1.5" opening for turning.
3. Clip corners and turn your coaster to the right side.  
4. Press and top stitch 1/8" from the edge to close your opening and make your square look finished. You can also quilt in the center if you like.
5.  Make 3 more
6. Pile all 4 coasters on top of your card board neatly and place a votive candle holder and candle on top (this will support your votive candle)
7.  Wrap with basket wrap and secure with curling ribbon
