PMQG mug rug swap

Mug rugs are all the rage for coffee drinking quilters like myself, so i was excited that i had a reason to make some for the quilt guild swap.

I made a "rainbow themed" rug inspired by this block:

I didn't have the exact fabric unfortunately, i wish i did, the colors are so poppy.
so i did my best to kinda match.

 

Since the blocks were so small i should have used some sort of paper piecing method.

But besides the points not matching i was pretty happy with it when it was all finished.

Here is a shot of all the mugs rugs gathers for the swap:

They are all so little and cute!

The mug rug I received from the swap. It happens to match my mug!

As much as i love my bird quilts, I will NEVER quilt with birds again.
