Well, this took a lot longer than I thought it would. I have been admiring many quilted mug rugs, mainly on US blogs. they are a little bigger than coasters, so there's room for coffee and some biscuits or 'cookies'! I saw this one on Marin and Colousa's blog and just had to copy it. I did intend to make several, but this one was so fiddley and my hands are better served to laying bricks than piecing one and a half inch triangles! I only managed to make one, though I do now have a glut of HSTs ( half square triangles! lol! I hand quilted 'in the ditch' ( in the seams ) which was hard going at the intersections, so next time I will use the sewing machine! The colour isn't true, in IRL the 'blue' is actually teal and blue mix. I may make some more, hopefully, they'll get easier and I'll get quicker at making them!! Hope you enjoy looking at my piccies. Thanks for visiting I'll be greatful for any comments you may leave
