This is the tute for the fan mug rug.

Finished result

Start with wedges. These are 9 Degree, but any will work
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279505[/ATTACH]

Fold the top in half and sew across.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279506[/ATTACH]

Turn them inside out and iron. Make sure the seam is in the middle.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279507[/ATTACH]

I opened my seams inside of the point.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279508[/ATTACH]

Obviously wrong for example only.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279509[/ATTACH]

Sew together matching the points.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279512[/ATTACH]

Sew the pairs into foursies. I open my seams.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279513[/ATTACH]

Finally fours in to eights. There ate two fans here.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279516[/ATTACH]

Then I used my circle cutter to determine the circle I needed was 8 inches. then cut the circle into fourths.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279518[/ATTACH]

You can do your curved seam in one of two ways. This is easeing it in.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279520[/ATTACH]

Resulting in this.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279522[/ATTACH]

OR... you can face your 1/4 circle with a light fabric and turn it.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279523[/ATTACH]

Sewing the 1/4 circle to the facing.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279524[/ATTACH]

Clip the curve and turn.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279525[/ATTACH]

Top stitch the 1/4 circle to the bottom of the fan.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279526[/ATTACH]

Resulting in this.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279527[/ATTACH]

Cut your back and batting. I turned the curved edge of the back over the top of the batting then pinned it to the fan just below the valleys of the points.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279528[/ATTACH]

Here you can see the points above the backing and batting.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279529[/ATTACH]

Choose your quilting pattern and quilt as desired.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279533[/ATTACH]

The point side is finished and you only have to bind the two straight sides turning the ends under on the points. Enjoy!!!

Wow, great tut, would like to give this a try but don't have a circle cutter, so how do I measure to determine the size circle required? Not to bright in figuring these things out.

Vivian Ketron 10-30-2011 02:32 PM

Great tute. Beautiful mug rug.

You can use a compass or just take the curve of the bottom of the fan and add 1/2 inch to it.

Yes a mug rug is a great way to practice new FMQ designs.

Thanks! I was wondering how you did the backing. Very clear and easy to understand, I will have to try this!

iwanttosew 10-31-2011 03:25 AM

I can't wait to try this-thought I would an initial in the bottom part-too much fun!

Great mug rug, quilting and tutorial! Many thanks.

very pretty

judykay 10-31-2011 05:32 AM

Thanks for the tute and a great idea. I am making 1/2 dresden plate mug rugs and am having a problem at the seam with the small circle that goes in the center as it is only a half dresden plate . Your tute gave me an idea for finishing it.

Happy Quilting

Sandra-P 10-31-2011 06:13 AM

Wow! Great tutorial and beautiful outcome. Thanks for sharing.

PWinston 10-31-2011 06:15 AM

I saw your original posting and loved the fan mug rug. Thank you so much for taking the time to write and post the tutorial. I too had a question in your original posting about your backing and appreciate you showing how that was done. Your quilting is fabulous - - feathers in each of the 8 blades!!!

Also, a GREAT BIG THANKS for posting a picture of your final product at the first part of your tutorial. It is sometimes so frustrating to page through a long tutorial only to realize at the end that it is probably something that I would never do. I think posting a final product picture at the very first is a good thing to do.

Beautiful!

Fan tastic! Thanks for the tute. (My note pads thank you also.)

vicki reno 10-31-2011 06:43 AM

Very clever! I bought a ruler that has markings for different lengths of the blades. Must have to try this. Thanks for sharing. :)

That is beautiful. Thanks for the tute

AnitaSt 10-31-2011 08:19 AM

Thanks so much for the tutorial...it's excellent. I almost bought a circle cutter the other day but wondered how often I would use it. Now I see more possibilities to use it.

BuzzinBumble 10-31-2011 08:21 AM

That's terrific! Thank you for making a tutorial for us all!
Did your coworker ever figure out you were her secret mug rug maker?

GlitzyMe 10-31-2011 08:21 AM

Beatuiful! This is perfect for a friend who's not doing well right now.
