I've done a lot of coasters from plastic canvas and yarn, using quilt blocks. All of mine have been given as gifts.

I've made a few but I really like your idea of matching the mug to the mat!
I just "color-matched".

I love how you added a pocket for the spoon. All of these Mug rugs look really nice!

I started mine out with just color-matched fabric. I didn't start out to mimic the mug design, it's just how it finally got finished after ripping out about 3 ideas before that.

I love your color-matched rugs and the designs you created.

I love the little cupcake on it. Great idea. I love the one at the site you sent with the cup & saucer.
I've been making these criss cross coasters after talking about them on this board.
