I think most everyone missed the fact that ideas for mug rugs, etc was requested. She was willing to do the project and was getting paid and fabric was being paid for. She just wants ideas for gifts. I second the idea of plain muslin squares cut with pinking shears and colored by the kids. Any crayon will do if set with a hot iron. I helped my grand daughters color some blocks and I made them into a quilt when they were pre K and the youngest is 16 now and still uses the quilt and the crayon pix are still good.
