I have to preface this by saying that in Battlestar Galactica (yeah, I know, it's getting a bit thick with sci-fi references) the Cylons (robots) are referred to as "toasters". So this space battle fabrics kinda lends itself to the whole theme, if you know what I mean. But I'll give you a little photo tutorial to make up for the extreme geeky start.
You'll need six 5" squares of fabric and one 5" square of batting. Fold and press four of the squares in half, right sides out.
Make a sandwich by stacking one full square face down, batting, one full square face up.
Layer the folded squares with raw edges lining up against the sides of the full squares.
Do this with all four folded squares. Interlock them so you have four patches of fabric showing and pin. I pin like a madwoman because I can't be trusted. Follow your own star.
Sew a quarter-inch seam around the edges. Trim the corners and flip inside out. I'd have a pic of that but it just looks like a big wad o' fabric.
Lather, rinse, repeat until you have as many coasters as a toaster could want.

Now that is the type of quilting I would have to do. If I ever had the time.
