Uterine Tea Cozy?

So, I find these days that although I adore coffee, I can't seem to drink it much anymore, which makes me sad. In my sadness, I have turned to tea. And then had to get a teapot, when single cups just weren't cutting it anymore. My little teapot.

And then I remembered how quickly a pot of tea can go cold. Fast...very, very fast. A tea cozy was in order, and stat. I measured it out and grabbed two fat quarters from my stash and snipped and sewed. I tried it on the teapot and thought "there's lots of room in there", so I trimmed the corners and then thought "a little point at the top to have a loop would be nice."

Well, this is what I ended up with. Not too too horrible, but if you turn it upside down you think "uterus?"

Then I still had a bunch of fabric left over from the fat quarters, so I made matching coasters.

Never made these before, but surprisingly easy. I'm thinking of making up some more to give out as little gifts for Christmas to unsuspecting family members. I'll do up a little tutorial for those, but not the Uterine Tea Cozy, I promise.
