I have a longer mail date than a lot of you as it takes at least 7 days to reach our kiwi friends. I think I am going to go off kilter forgive me as this is your first swap WEE FI.. it just happens every so often. You should have figured from my posts it happens to me a bit. AND you did open those door for all but this.. lol next time you might think it again 
oh who thinks 70's sheep will look? as bad as all that? fine I own no sheep fabric though I saw some on ebay they were knitting omg I need that one red black and white tell me that isnt the cutest thing? I did make a whole wombat quilt with Aussie fabric once nope no wombats in the stash either (feel free to send me samples those who own any) ..and I have so much CHICKEN fabric thought there were a ton of chicken fans out there nope apparently not. so WEE FI you wont get chickens either. You will get.. me in a mug rug.

Binding
I found this site for easy binding of a mug rug.
www.made-by-rae.com
Scroll down until you see cheater quilt bind off, then scroll towards the bottom.
Very easy, this is what I use now. I used it on placemats yesterday.
Have fun!
If this doesn't take you to the home page click on tutorials on top of page.
Hope this is informational for some I know it was for me.

Only kind of binding that I do!
This is the only kind of binding that I do and making great mitered corners is super easy, in my opinion.
