    Aww - I know that if I lived in Florida I would miss Autumn too much too.

    The fabric you asked about is made by Andover Fabrics and is part of their “Arabesque” line. My middle daughter picked it out for a quilt I am going to make for her. I bought it on eBay about a year ago. You are in luck too, because I did a search on eBay and there is one seller with some fabric from that line. I had used the stripe version for the leaf, but the all over paisley is perhaps even better. Here is a link to the fabric on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Andover-Fabr...item1c1dc4cc59
    I hope you can capture a little of that wonderful Autumn feeling and enjoy it there in Florida!

    I love your idea too! Do you have any photos of your sweatshirts you could post for us?

    Jeepers jgriinke…. If I had to sew 34 of them, I would either get very, very good at it or loose my head and rake them into a pile. :lol:

    These "mug rugs" are so pretty, your fabric selections were great! The tutorial is very well done. Nice job, and thank you for taking the time to do something like this for us.

    Thank you so much Cindy! It means all the more coming from a you since you've been a hesitant poster lately. I'm happy to find another quilter with a corny sense of humor too. ;)

    Everyone: your compliments are so much appreciated! I'm very happy and encouraged that you all like this tutorial!
