Mug Rug Inspiration and a New Swap
Are you ready? It’s time for a new swap! For this swap, we’ll be making TWO mug rugs to send to our secret partner. What’s a mug rug? It’s a mini, mini quilt that finishes at approximately 10″x6″. The perfect size for a mug and some cookies.
This swap has been inspired by Ryan Walsh’s Dresden Wedges Mug Rug Tutorial:
You can use Ryan’s tutorial or come up with your own design. Be creative and have FUN! Mug Rugs are addicting and perfect for using up left-over fabric from other projects.
