Adorable! I love aqua and red. I may need to make one for myself today...I need to practice binding and this would be the perfect little project! And my mug says it needs a rug!

Cute! If it's about 4x6, you could put a cloth postcard backing on it, and send it through the mail as a little gift. The recipient would get a cute card and a mug rug! Just get it hand stamped.

Thanks everyone. I actually made the label from some scraps of fabric. I took a piece about 3" x about 4" or so. Sewed the short ends together and turned it right side out (it was like a tube at this point) and pressed it with the seam going up the center. Then folded it in half with the seam inside and pressed it really well. I trimmed it to the width I wanted after I wrote on it. Then I just sewed it under the binding with the raw edges matching the edge of the quilt. I'm thinking about trying it using the lettering stitches on my machine next time but this time I just hand wrote it with a Copic Multiliner.

I sort of made it up myself but with help. I have this set of stamps that consist of different flower petals. I stamped one on some paper and traced that onto my fusible web for the petals. For the circle I just cut it by hand.
