I started out using those leftover pieces of cute border fabric~ you know the ones that are just too cute to throw away but what do you really do with a piece of border? They are ideal for a 6x10 mug rug! I have a thing about using stuff up and this is perfect. Next I'm going through my small orphan blocks and left over flying geese. Before I quit I'll have more rugs than I know what to do with ;-)
