Mug Rug

With friends having birthdays, I went to my stock of items and matched crafts to friends.  I've pulled out scarfs and wall hanging.  But for one friend I wanted to do something different...I wanted to make her a mug rug.

I had some 2 1/2 inch precut blocks that I won in a giveaway from Moda this past summer.  I just did a simple block design and then used my new leaf/heart FMQ technique for the quilting.  I had to do little leaves which was even more of a challenge.  Since it needed to be finished tonight, I rolled the backing to the front for the binding.  I think I'll be making more of these.
