I made some that were 5 X 7 "- machine embroidered in-the-hoop ones - and don't think they are big enough. They will hold a cup of coffee, but not much else. So I recently made myself one that is about 6 X 9 ", and I love that size - holds my mug AND a cookie (or two!) That one was my first attempt at paper piecing. Not sure I will try THAT again - but maybe, because I loved the mug rug. Don't look too close because I have only made two or three - but I am having fun making them.
