I used some scraps from a quilt I made and a flower (CL375) I had stamped on fabric and stitched with batting behind it...
I liked the larger zebra stripe under the flower and decided to balance it with a square on the bottom left corner......
To put this together I layed down the back fabric wrong side up...
then I used fleece and then the mug rug top....
I brought the backing fabric to the front for a self binding and used #332 stitch....
I had used that stitch in a mug rug Dec 2010 and it worked for that one...
But for this one I think it would have looked better if I had chosen a stitch that stayed on top of the binding....
I used Smooch sassy pink for the flower but it is not waterproof....
Soooo next time I make one I will probably use paintstix after stitching the design....
There are a lot of mug rugs on the internet on pinterest, flickr, etc....
I just joined a group on flickr called Scrappy Mug Rug Gallery...
they have 859 members and over 5,000 photos...
Be sure and check it out for a LOT of inspiration!
I finally have a finish to link to finish it Friday and Link a Finish Friday...
Smiles and hugs....Caryl
This is really cool!! I just finished up some baby gifts using pink and black and zebra. I have to wait for the mom to have her baby and give them to her before I put them on my blog though. This baby is over a week late already!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I have a request for 4 mug rugs.... this gives me an idea for something different. I made some last year - all very scrappy
