Set of Mug Rugs

I invariably make mug rugs out of fabric scraps - so no two look alike...














But I recently received this set of mug rugs made from two fat quarters, with a layer of thin batting in between.














They were hand-quilted on a lap frame in one big piece - then cut apart.














I particularly like the way they were finished off.














The binding seam ended on the side, not at a corner. (I'm going to try this next time!)














The circular quilting pattern is easier to see in a dark, contrasting colored thread.














A beautiful gift from my daughter, whose quilting style is very different from mine!
