Cozy made for Sherry

This is Actually the first mini quilt I ever made. I made it for my Mother in law or Mom#2 Sherry, because she got an awesome Job at the Museum and I thought she could use it for her coffee at her new Office.


 I will share this easy tutorial with you 


And what i did was cut strips of 4 different fabrics 1.5 inch wide, sew them together in 4 different orders. 



then cut strips of 1.5 inches

and sew the together again in a way that you never have the same fabric next to each other

Make a sandwich, remember that the batting is bigger than the top and the backing fabric is bigger than the bating... although in such a small project I don't know if it makes a difference


quilt the sandwich with strait lines (or however you want)


 cut it in a cozy shape


Bind it


 And use it!!!


To get the shape I used the cardboard slip that contained the information of the thermus, but you can cut a cardboard coffee sleeve from starbucks and you will have the idea.
