Do the Math
I’ve been working on the treats for the Team Captain Boxes.
22 teams = 22 Team Captains.
4 coasters per team captain = 88 coasters.
1 top block per coaster + 1 back block per coaster = 176 squares.
4 tiny blocks per coaster = 352 tiny squares.
1 absorbent middle per coaster = 88 absorbent squares.
I cut out 616 squares.
88 coasters waiting for the final seam and flip.
That’s also 528 seams (6 per coaster) and a lot of ironing.
And some cat hair completely free of charge.
Sorry about that.
The tutorial for these coasters can be found here!
There is also $124 from pattern sales and a very generous donation (thank you, Lisa – I can’t find your email address anywhere) for prizes! Remember, all the proceeds from pattern sales until September 30 will be used for Dish Rag Tag!

I don’t think I’ve seen a picture of Lucy from the front before. She has really beautiful markings!
You are such a busy lady…really don’t know where you find all this time and energy…

Pretty kitty, and pretty squares, too. Only 2 more days until sign-ups, can’t wait!

Loved the kitty comment
Somehow it is charming when it is your cat. When it is my daughter’s cat, I just can’t seem to find the humor.
How sweet of you to make little gifts for the team captains! You are amazing!

Kitty hair is always welcomed around here.
I don’t envy you all that sewing, but you’re one nice lady to be doing it!

Oh, oh, that’s a lot of seams. Handmade coasters…too cool.
For some reason, I, suddenly and unexplainedly, would like to be a team captain.
