Practice, Practice, Practice

I have to say that I think my mitered corners are getting better… and these two mug rugs plus the two from yesterday will be a birthday present for my baby sister.  Also finding out how hard it is to do straight-line quilting... will need more practice with that before I feel good about how it turns out...




All these “finishes” certainly boosts one morale… I’ll be ready to tackle the pink & white quilt top this weekend.

  1. Your mug rugs are wonderful. I find straight line quilting way easier the fmq!

  2. Instead of Empress of the Universe, you should be dubbed Empress of the Mug Rugs! These are so cute, good job. I'm going to be making some and giving as gifts. I've only made a few of these so far. I'll be using up some of my orphan blocks. Especially the ones that won't fit into a scrappy hodge podge quilt...I know you are having fun with these, they are certainly colorful!

  3. Small projects are great aren't they? I make postcards to get play with fun arty techniques that I don't use in my quilting.

  4. These are great! Each one is so different. You've been so productive this week, you've inspired me to get back to work on my sewing :)
