Apple basket with coasters

Today I've been working on a small crochet basket that looks like an apple and some "apple slices" for the inside. These are going to be the coasters. I think it's looking pretty good. I just need to remember how I made the slices so I can make more of them. Have a look:

The consensus around here is that the seeds and stem were necessary to really make the coasters look like apples. Otherwise my sample was mistaken for a heart. Not so bad, really. Maybe I'll make a set of heart coasters, too!

I think the coasters still need a little work, but hopefully I'll get a good design and be able to list them in the shop soon.
