    You deserve a big pat on the back, binding something that small is a lot harder than binding a bigger piece...especially where the binding meets. It's darling. I must start my Christmas presents...

    Thank you for the tip Gale.

Sewed the short ends together and turned it right side out (it was like a tube at this point) and pressed it with the seam going up the center. Then folded it in half with the seam inside and pressed it really well. I trimmed it to the width I wanted after I wrote on it. Then I just sewed it under the binding with the raw edges matching the edge of the quilt. I'm thinking about trying it using the lettering stitches on my machine next time but this time I just hand wrote it with a Copic Multiliner.

    I love those mug rugs! I have them everywhere. I'm like you, I started out using them to practice my binding. The little flower on the front of yours is really appealing.
