It is my own design. I had been looking at dresden plate patterns and twister patterns...then the mug rug swap came up. I had Valentines Day FQ from the January FQ Swap and it just sort of evovled. I loved the mug rug so much I had to play with it, I kept dreaming about it, used fabrics on hand and it turned out almost how I invisioned it. The whole process was about 2 weeks...vision to completion. Now, if I just had a little girl to gift it to!
