Cut 2 pieces of fabric slighly larger than the CD. Cut 2 pieces of batting using the CD as a template.Make a length of bias binding long enough to go around the CD.
Use spray adhesive (Gunold KK100... fabulous stuff!) to stick one piece of batting to one piece of fabric and quilt on the machine.
Sick this to the CD...stick the other piece of batting to the other side of the CD and then stick the other piece of fabric to the batting...one sandwich with the CD in the middle.
Using a zipper foot on the machine stich around the CD.. trim to .5cm
Tack the bias binding in place and using backstitch sew aound the CD.....I know hand stitching is a pain but the zipper foot doesn't stitch close enough to the CD. Fold the bias in half and hand stitch on the reverse.....one 'altered' CD! and one cute coaster.
