Thanks for the tips! I started on my first mug rug last night after finding the block below. I am using 1/2" Thangles, which have a 1/4" seam allowance in them. I figure this will produce a 4.5" finished block and then I can add a little 3/4 or 1" border to make it about 5" finished. I will decide on the border size once I see it pieced.
I will be sure to trim my seams down to 1/8" before I start sewing them all together. It is going to be interesting piecing such tiny blocks! This is the smallest thing I have ever done and after seeing the little 1" units I made last night I must admit I am a little intimidated, but still eager to try it. Glad I have a straight stitch plate, tweezers, and a Sixth Finger!
