Mug Rugs and Placemats {Swirling}
I am finding these little mug rugs popping up everywhere to be so very inspiring. All kinds of great quilting techniques, free piecing and color combinations - a real feast for the eyes! I've sat down to try my hand at making at least one, but get overwhelmed with the possibilities and end up doing something entirely different.

I love your mug rugs!! Great ideas. I've not made these yet, still so many UFO's, I won't allow myself to start more just for me.
Have a great day, thanks for sharing.
I totally need placemats for the table....i made a batch of mug rugs for the sale in November and my mug sits happily on one of the leftovers as I type this...
They both seem like quickish projects so i can see the temptation to get started, even with UFO's haunting you.
I've been making placemats for wedding gifts, birthday gifts, etc etc but none for me! I need to remedy that!
i am forever stuck in the planning and thinking phases of quilting. there is so much inspiration out there and so much beautiful fabric to be bought and that i already have....i get overwhelmed with trying to figure it out and then i just throw in the towel and don't do anything. ticker tape would be a great use of scraps and would make awesome placemats.
I get trapped in the indecision of finding the "perfect" project! I have been meaning to make some pillows for my couch forever, but I just can't pick which fabrics and pattern should be used. Argh. The indeciveness! ;)
I'll keep my fingers crossed that your fabric will arrive before the weekend (prime sewing time!).
Fabric has arrived, one quilt finished, one quilt top finished and binding cut! Now I have to put it all on hold because I have an exam next Saturday... And as you may be able to tell, I'm behind in that regard!
