Quilted Coasters

Quilted Coasters
I am planning on making a wedding quilt, but that is another thread. I just had an interesting thought. I could make matching quilted coasters as favors.
Do 4.5inch patches with stripes of the three main colors of the quilt.
Do a patch of muslin on the back.
Do hand written names/wedding date on the muslin. Iron set.
Sew inside out with batting leaving a hole to turn right side out.
Turn rightside out, iron flat.
And quilt!!
Only catch, I need to make ~200 of these.

I have made some criss cross coasters, this one is like the ones I made; http://patspattering.blogspot.com/20...-tutorial.html
You could use the three colors, and in the 4th use muslin with the wedding information. Also the pattern uses 5", but I do not see why you couldn't use 4.5". They do go together fast, but 200 (no matter how you look at it) will take some time.
Found the pattern I had used;

Wow! Those look so cool and easier than what I was planning. I think I might do this instead. My main colors are Royal Blue and Sunflower Yellow. I'm going to use a light patterned white as a filler in my signature quilt and muslin as the signature squares. I think I may just use the yellow and blue for the front and the muslin for the back with the info. I want them to be able to use the coasters and not have to display our wedding info when they do.

This is a lot of work. I have with many brides and have found out that many people simply do not place a high value on handmade favors. Sorry, but this is again, a lot of work and I would be unhappy if people didn't like them or value them as much as I would.
