Practice Mug Rug
 

I am making 40 of these for a church event. They will be in various pastels with a little bold thrown in. I am not supplying mugs, just took a photo with one for size reference. The binding is not great as I rushed!
i also plan to stitch around the raw edges on my appliqué. Any suggestions?

Looks good!

Looks great to me. They will be welcomed by everyone that gets them. Keep up the good work.

Very cute!

very nice mug rug

40 of them, good for you.
I make my mug rugs 8 by 10 inches with insul-brite so they can also be used for hot pads. Also I have the backing 1 inch larger all the way around, bring it to the front and fold the edge under instead of a separate binding and use a decorative stitch on it. That speeds up the process since I don't have to sew on the binding.

Have fun with using lots of colors and prints.

Thanks for the measurements and ideas jbening! I was thinking I should avoid all that binding :) Mine will be 6x8 when finished. I have a friend come over to help! She can press each one and iron on the butterflies.

nicely done... what a huge project

Very pretty. I love mug rugs.

very nice like how you matched the cup!!!
