What exactly is a mug mat? I
would say it is a cross between a coaster and a placemat but what do I know?
Planning the mug mat size, colors
and selecting the block pattern took a good amount of time. I wanted to make a
basic block which is not commonly suggested for beginner quilters, so I
considered both the Shoo-Fly and Maple Leaf blocks as well as the Friendship Star.
I completed the Maple Leaf first because I had already cut the block pieces from fabrics that match my bedroom colors, deep brown and pink. This block measures about 10.5 inches finished which is little too big. I decided on the Friendship Star which is about 8 ¾ inches finished. That is a more suitable size for a mug mat and it will be used!
Instructions for both the Maple Leaf and
Friendship Star blocks will be posted soon.
