Yep, jbening had a good idea to pull the back over for the binding. You will be glad when 40 finally arrives!

That speeds up the process since I don't have to sew on the binding.

Have fun with using lots of colors and prints.

What a great idea. Nice mug rug.

Great start, you will perfect them by the time you are finished. Can't wait to see more and I wish I had someone to iron while I sewed

Very nice! I like to make mug rugs too but that is a lot! Sometimes to avoid binding I stitch around, leave opening, and turn, then stitch around edge a couple times.
