This gift set didn't come together quite as quickly as I would have liked, but the end result was worth it to me. The coasters are 5" finished hexagons, one of which includes two internal borders.
The centerpiece mat is a traditional block, featuring full squares and half-square triangle blocks. Do the math on your HSTs and stitch and cut in pairs, don't play with that bias edge if you can help it.
And you guessed it, it was the bias edge on that bordered hexie that took the near side of forever.
Quilted as stitch-in-the ditch to maintain structure and prevent bunching in the wash. It's a tea set, it's going to get drips and crumbs and (hopefully!) need to be washed often.
