After re-reading some of your post and measuring I find the 9X7 is a decent size to work with. <O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p If you go and re-read the guide lines for this swap it stated:<O:p</O:p . *SIZE: A minimum of approx. 9” x 7” in any fashion or shape.<O:p</O:p <O:p</O:p<O:p</O:p As I said before…PLEASE do not stress over this. I am hoping for this swap to be challenging, fun & making new friends. <O:p</O:p <O:p</O:p I love all the photos of the rugs so far..Too bad I cannot have them all :D<O:p</O:p |

I came back to edit my post but too much time had elapsed. Here are two pics to illustrate with my favourite mid-afternoon snack on them. The blue is 7 x 9" and the black/green 6 x 8". Either work well. BTW, these are practice FMQ squares I cut up to make mug rugs from, NOT what I will be doing on this swap.

Okay I think a 5x9 is the perfect size. My mugs are on the large size my son calls it them soup bowls not coffee mugs.

I'm thinking that I'm going to have to measure tlhe little spot at work where mine will live. I have room for 2 drinks there, but I believe a small plate wouldn't fit. I need a mini tape measure, lol. A larger one would work on my sewing table though. I can't remember what size I made the bunch at Christmas. I do still have a piece of flannel leftover where I cut too many batting pieces though. I like flannel for mug rug batting because it catches moisture, but dries well without smelling funny.
As for my partner's, I can't decide what to do, but I have a couple theme directions I'd like to go in. |
Working on mine. I will probably make two - just to be sure she likes at least one of them. Almost done.
