Mug Rugs?

I might a little late to the party on this one . . .

I whipped up a few mug rugs this week.

I have a few guests arriving this weekend with March birthdays,

and I thought these would be perfect gifts.

I really prefer to make a handmade gift when I can.

After I made these . . .

I realized that I HAVE made some mug rugs before,

but I didn't realize they were mug rugs.

I made these about 20 years ago when I had

leftover blocks and I didn't want to put them in the scrap bin.

(And I didn't know about leftover quilts!)

These have been drawer liners for quite a while.

They need to be liberated.

This is the quilt I made 20 years ago that produced my first mug rug.

It is also the first quilt I ever hand quilted.

I have been a bright color girl for a long time.

I don't think that's going to change!

How about you? Do you mug rug??
