I just did patterns of quilt blocks that I thought would look good with the fabric I had.

Is it just me or is the rectangle look of a mug rug look off to anyone? I guess I just like the square look- like a coaster.

I like the rectangle shape - because I can put a mug on one side and a brownie or "several" cookies on the other side ! But it is all individual taste.

I think the rectangle format lets you make better mini quilt designs, but I do think that if I gave rectangular mug rugs to my non-sewing family without an explanation of a mug rug they would be confused as to the purpose of it.

Thanks for your take on it. I agree- it might need explaining!
