LOVE it!!!!! Thanks for the tutorial! :thumbup:

Please post your photos here. i would love to see them.

Hmm great tutorial. But got a stupid question... What is a mug rug? is it to put a mug on? Go and laugh at me. Also is there away I can see the back side? I don't know much about quilting trying to read everything I can on it. I just finish a 9 patch lap quilt. took me 4 weeks to do that.

Wow that is really a cute original mat. Thank you so much for the great tutorial!!

Thats cool, thanks!

Thank you for the tute. I'm going to try & make some for gifts

Wow! Very nice!

Great tute. Beautiful. Am going to make one tomorrow. (or two or three)

Neat. I'll try that. Thanks

Very nice and great idea

Yes a mug rug is a place to put your mug on your desk or workspace. The back can be seen in the original thread here:
http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...163582-11.html i did the back on this one a bit differently but it is basically the same.

Nicely done, it looks beautiful with your batiks.

great mug rug and tutorial.. one question : you mention " these are 9 degree .but any will work ".
is 9 degree a template ?...if so ,can I make one ? as we dont get quilting rulers etc where i live in India.
incase i can order online, would you suggest what.. and where i can get it ?
i thank you in adv for any suggestions and guidance.

I followed the explaination of how to make this just fine. I have never hear the 9 degree term before. i am guessing that I would just need a pattern. But I do love this. It turned out gorgeous. I think it would be a great way to practice a new quilting pattern.

Yes a 9 degree ruler is in the stores, but you can use any wedge pattern. It will make a difference on how many pieces are in the fan. In a 9 degree full circle there are (I believe) 20 wedges. I might be wrong on that though. i grabbed what I had handy.

Thank u 4 this mug rug, how nice to see the same pattern but different shape and use

Thank you so much, your sample is gorgeous

Great tute! Lovely mug rug!

so how can I make a copy of this? sure would like the directions on this, oh and by the way, would ties do well with this? cotton, not silk??

Yes, I would love to do this, but was also wondering how you did the backing!

Absolutely love the colorful batiks!! I love fans so this would be a great project...Thanks!!

Just saw your tutorial. so cute and quick. great gift idea. thanks!

Love the tutorial, what does 9 degree mean for the fan?

This is beautiful! What a great mini project. So many possitive aspects beyond its beauty. You get to use up smaller fabric scraps, its quick, you get to practice (for me) free motion quilting, you have something to give friends that like your work with out having to make a larger piece. Thanks for sharing.

That is a great tut, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the tutorial. Looks like fun.

So clever. Love this tutorial.

that's a fine twist on the fan pattern.

So pretty. Thank you.

Outstanding tutorial, mug rugs are mini quilts which can give us the opportunity to try new techniques and hone our skills. I love them and have been a number of swaps for mug rugs. Check out The Patchsmith on Craftsy for some of the cutest mug rugs available at an amazingly low cost.

Beautiful mug rug and great "tut!"

Wow, your mug rug is beautiful. Thanks for the tut.

Well done, this is really nice and a great way to do some FMQ. Love it!

What is width and length of strips needed for fan "blade" ?

What size do you usually make on the rectangle/square rugs?

great tut would like to make 1 of these love the colors

Great tut! Putting it on my list for next year gifts!

The website says free pattern for the tie quilt. Where is the quilt pattern?

Cute idea! Pretty
