Maggie you did a great job matching the pictures and also making the mug rug.
Nice job on your first machine quilting!

Here is a tutorial I followed to learn to do mitered corners when bringing the backing to the front for a binding. It explains it so well and has great pictures.

PamH thank you for the link to the tutorial I know my corners did not turn out quite right, but all four corners were pretty much the same. I will study up on that and number two should look better. Thank you

That is adorable! I love the matching idea. So cute as gifts, as well.

This is my first mug AND my first time free motion quilting. I rolled the backing around to the front to give it a look of binding. Not too bad for a first effort. Will make nice gifts at Christmas for co-workers. I bought seven cups today at Good Will. This is number one. I do hope I will be able to stick with this project so that I can get all seven done. I am not known for my sticktoitiveness!!!
Thank you for looking.

Cute. I've been looking at the nicer coffee cups at Goodwill and other places. Not seen any I really care for--------yet!
