This is certainly not a subject to complain about.....so don't consider this whining, rather it's an observation about how fabrics multiply...they do don't they?!?
I've been tripping over several bins and additional piles of felted wool for months. To keep some semblance of order, smaller pieces and scraps are retained in separate bins. This stuff is expensive so I'm not throwing it out!! Yet, finding purposes that don't venture too far into 'craft' descriptions has not come easily.
So, I set about creating drink coasters as a way to utilize both big and small pieces. Naturally wading through all those bins took time, as did coordinating the pieces to attractively fit a 4.5" square without waste was time consuming as well. In the end, I'm pleased with my results.......

Definitely not too crafty! You have some lovely mini-compositions there- good color and design choices make all the difference. Fabulous!
Wool is a great choice for drink coasters because it is so absorbent and doesn't feel wet until it's absorbed quilt a lot of liquid. I like your coasters a lot!
I agree with Shannon, those are great mini compositions.
Who would have thought of coasters! YOU!!! HA They are lovely...bet these would sell!!
Agree with all of the above - unique, interesting , arty but practical at the same time. A winning combination.
