After reading all the posts here, I realize I put all my info into the PM I sent to Elisabrat. Maybe I should try to give some ideas where others can see them. The thing is though I've never done a swap before, nor have I made a mug rug but have seen so many cute ones, I'm looking forward to it. Actually I don't have favorite colors. Usually choose fabrics according to the person I'm making a quilt for. Most of them my grandkids who range in age from toddlers to teens! I do love good strong coffee. We have a little Maltese dog who is the king of our house. Love travelling in our motorhome and spend a few months at the gulf coast of Texas. Love the beach and the seafood. I just love hand made items, so go for it. It can't be wrong for me!

Happy to have you join the "swapper club".
I'm not new to swaps, but I've never made nor received mug rugs, either.
This will be fun, though..for all of us!

I told myself, "Self stop making commitments." But self said "you need to stay busy, keeps you motivated." So Elisabrat I pm'd you. This will be my first Mug Rug, I have been drowling over so many on the web and just never made one. I think I make these commitments to force myself to explore. I had even bought a mug rug book couple of months back, but still didn't make one, so I need a commitment to stop the procrastination.
I do drink coffee, beer, tea, coke, water, and milk, so any kind of mug rug is fine in a vintage look. Colors to you choice. If you are my partner, I do HQ. My MQ'ng is the pits.

Gannyrosie this is such a small project you may surprise yourself how easy it is to quilt it by machine the largest I can quilt easily is a table runner then I give up myself and send it to Kelly (themamahauser) or Jan (Jaba) to get things done correctly.
