Holiday Swap 2021 - Mug Rug
“A small, fun to create, mini quilt that is mostly there to look pretty on your desk and soak up your drink of choice’s drips and condensation, as well as giving you full-on permission to eat some cookies, since, well, that extra space off to the side of your drink is just THERE for you to use.”
It can be as small as a coaster but as big as a placemat. quote from Erin of Two More Seconds
As you can see, a Mug Rug is not a coaster it's more than that! The Mug Rug should also be considered “Modern” because it was created in 2010! This modern day creation is an excuse to play with some scraps, perfect a block, practice free motion quilting, or even binding, but also an excuse to make something small and unique!
- What is a Mug Rug? A Mug Rug is a mini quilt, which can be used to rest your coffee and that extra cookie you decided you needed.
- How big should it be? It can be as small as a coaster or a big as a placemat. But since we are popping them in the post, perhaps not quite so big?
