I make mug rugs about 6 by 10 - large enough for a mug and a snack in a bowl or plate. I do not usually do any fancy block, just sandwich the top and bottom with batting, quilt and bind (sewing on the back, topstitching on the front) . I found that craft batting is a tighter weave than W&N, giving it more stability. In any event, they wash up nicely and this way they are quick. I do not do applique as a cup could tip on it.

Google or Pinterest are your best bets for a visual.

So far, my searches online on this site have not found very many, though I remember seeing lots over the last couple years. Different sizes, shapes, scrappy, versus a "pattern", and so on.

Would you folks be willing to post your ideas to this thread so I can have a bunch in one spot?

Or make some suggestions of how to find them - other than on the www?

Thank you for your help!

Thank you for the link, I, too, appreciate it!

I make all my mug rugs 5x7 and put them in a cellophane bag with a little explanation about what they are. Most people really don't know what they are, so a message is necessary and the bag keeps them clean. http://www.creativegiftpackaging.com...gs_p/c69lb.htm
