Hi garysgal. I have done both hexagons and paper piecing. I have probably made & sold dozens of mug rugs. A mug rug is just a mini quilt. I use the Insul-bright for batting and cut 1.75" double folded binding. I do use PP with making the top but I remove the paper from the backing before I start layering the mug rug. I just quilt it as a single block.
