Testing, 1, 2, 3…

I recently received a request from my mother-in-law. She saw this really neat modular felt trivet and decided she wanted a big one for her kitchen island. That sounds like a good Mothers’ Day Present to me! This is another project from How About Orange. I’m telling you, this girl, Jessica, is fabulous. She made two versions, a coaster and a trivet. I thought I’d test out the smaller, coaster version to see how it worked and how difficult/time consuming it would be. Turns out, pretty easy and fun!

I used some cheap felt I had on hand and experimented with straight and curved lines and mixing colors. What do you think? I think I like the ones that are all one color the most, but I’m not sure… Overall, the project was a success and I’ll be ordering some better quality felt soon to make the big Mothers’ Day runner version. So… stay tuned for that in a month or so!
