The Mug Rug Project

Last October, I asked my mom, sister, aunt, and pen pal to send me pictures of their favorite mug. I planned to make them all mug rugs. I had seen mug rugs popping up all over Flickr. According to the Scrappy Mug Rug Swap Flickr group, a mug rug is "an oversized coaster for your mug or glass or cup and has room for a cookie on the side! It can be any shape or size." My goal was to make a mug rug to match their mug using only fabric from my stash. This turned out to be an interesting challenge since I didn't know what they'd send.
