mug rugs for a swap

I started out to make one mug rug, got discouraged with that one because I messed up my cutting and needed to either start over or substitute a different light green. Now I have made 4. They are somewhat addictive. They all have the same spidery backing, left over from a guild challenge. They are all batted with my old kitchen towels. I was more than ready for bright new ones.

PS. If I had not gotten discouraged with it, the oval one would have been a turtle, with brown head, feet and tail sticking out. That one is my own design. The labels read: have a cuppa on me-QM.

They are all beautiful. I had not thought about changing the shape. Thanks for sharing.

You are right, they are addictive when you start making them. They are fast and quick to make.

Thank you. One will go to the originally planned swapper, one to a friend who is having a really hard time with her health. The other 2 will go to local friends.
