Sounds good to me, Nelco. We should all strive to make the one we're working on the best one yet! At least, that should be the goal, right? Now I can't wait to see your mug rug!
I'm only teasing you, Nelda! No pressure ... really!

I have a question for everybody -- sort of a survey.
This swap requires that the mug rugs finish at a minimum of 9"x8" -- right? But some people like them larger, & others like them smaller.
What do you like? What, to you, is the best size for a mug rug?
Prior to joining this swap, I made my mug rugs about 6"x8", which is pretty small by QB standards, but I would just put a mug on it & maybe a cookie, sans the small plate, obviously.
This is just a question, so please do not change the size of the mug rug you are making this month.
I'd like everyone to weigh in & give an opinion. Do you use your mug rug for its intended purpose, or another purpose? I know some people hang them up. In fact, I plan to do just that myself. But would you rather have a mug rug you can actually use as a mug rug? Would the size of the mug rug change if you used it for its intended purpose?
Please let us know what you think. Everyone -- join in!

I do like the larger sized mug rug because then I can use as a "doily" on the table in our foyer or on the family heirloom glass topped coffee table in the living room. Of course, I can also use it as its intended purpose: mug rug OR hang it as a wall hanging. An 8 x 10 seems to accommodate a mug and small plate nicely, as well as the other uses mentioned above.
With that being said, I enjoy working with a larger surface . . . sometimes I don't like working with the small squares and trying to get the results to look right. Am I making sense on my mutterings?????
