Not to sound ignorant, but is a mug rug a coaster?? so how big is that piece in the photo? I LOVE it!! Crayons, paints, mixture??then stitching??

for me a mug rug is a mini quilt format that can be any size.

The self portrait mug rug swap we just completed format was the size of a sheet of paper 8 1/2" x11".
I also have under my topics a self portrait tutorial and pictures of other participants in the swap.
This piece is made with 100% cotton fabrics, I used a polished cotton for the feet, the new Sharpie stain pens for details on the feet, since i like to recycle I used some broken jewelry on the sea shore and a clear upside down button for the jelly fish. I free motion quilted the sandy beach and raw edge applique all pieces added. The flipflops are scraps braded and the buttons are store bought felt.

Nice manicure! You really have captured life at the seashore. Although I'll tell you that when that "white noise" turns to a roar in hurricane season, it can be a wee bit unnerving!
