Really ... you just sew a bunch of pieces together and make a mini quilt. A great way to practice a technique or use up orphan blocks. Or to just have some fun putting things together in no particular fashion. Anything goes!

Has anyone used the vynl heat & bond on the wrong sides of the mug rugs?By that I mean on the underside of the top between the top and the batting. It should still make it water proof without the look of the plastic.

Make one with what you have on hand and see how it works for you. It is a great way to use up scraps of batting & fabric left over from bigger projects!

I made some for the girls at work and they love them. I made some for my sister, she uses hers, and wants more for each season/holiday. I put them under candles, and some bigger ones are under plants on my windowsills, sort of a custom-made windowsill liner!
