Cute! I have been making mug rugs for gifts. I'll have to try sliding a mouse on them! Always good to have an alternate use.....

I love them. Great ideas for Christmas.

How big are these blocks? I did some 6" ones and they look much smaller than these. I also did pieced star blocks so they may be too "lumpy" to be stable under a cup and certainly not smooth enough for a mouse. I may have to rethink my method. Thanks for the great picture.

Great idea for mouse pads. Nice job.

beatys9 11-28-2011 06:05 PM

These are super neat Riversong. Did you use something stiff inside the mousepad?

Sneed 11-28-2011 06:25 PM

Great idea. I need to get busy and make a few of these for gifts. Thanks for the tip.

Painiacs 11-29-2011 05:50 AM

How cute are those!!!!

Needle Up 11-29-2011 06:03 AM

I made some from five star fonts embroidery designs. You have to put the rubber shelf lining under them so they
don't slide.

lovingmama 11-29-2011 06:09 AM

What a wonderful idea!

starlite 11-29-2011 06:20 AM

Nice! Great idea might just make some of the mouse pads.
