Well, here they are:
It is so satisfying to make something from practically nothing. I had been throwing these remnants away for so long, until I thought of piecing them. Now I keep similar colors in glass jars so I can see them and be inspired.
I backed these with linen (also salvaged--pants!) and they have cotton batting between the layers to help with the absorbency. I am hand-embroidering some tiny details on each one, to add to the scrappy quality. They look pretty cute from the linen side, too if you are in a minimalist mood.
I'll add these to the shop tomorrow around noon. (EST)

So that's what you had planned!! I love the idea of keeping them in glass jars, colors always inspire me, I might have to steal that idea from you (: great looking coasters!

Love these! I have a bag full of scraps I need to use up. I definitely should start keeping them organized by color. What a great idea. And thanks for coming by my blog. It's always nice to get comments from people whose names I don't recognize. :)
