    I want to make some mug rugs and I'm wondering what size I should make them. Or can I make them any size I want to.

    Any size and every size. Depends on what you intend to do to them or with them. For example, are you including a pocket?

    There's no Mug Rug Police .... so do as you wish!

    Mine vary from 5x7 upwards to smaller than a placemat. It's often determined by the fabric sizes I'm using, the pattern I choose, or how I think it'll look best! And sometimes it's based on the piece og leftover batting I am using!! :)

    I would say at least 5x5, but any size you want to make would be good...and they don't have to be square, they can also be rectangular.
