more mug rugs

I have been busy sewing,

making cute mug rugs for my girlfriends,

I think they will be a great Christmas gift.

They are all different but in the same color and fabric than

my previous ones.

I see a lot of hexagons quilt,

and always want to make one,

but some many little pieces, so little time!

So I just pieced 7 hexagons together (by machine)

and turned under the raw edges all around (with starch)

and appliqued it to the background with a zigzag stitch (invisible thread)

For the next 3, I just played with half triangles

and forced myself to not center them,

it is a stretch for me!

I also tried more quilting

and different patterns,

thanks to their size it is a great way to experience!

I really like all the half triangles together,

forming a nice band.

Now I have to decide who get what,

may be I will keep one for myself,

or I just will have to play some more!



Happy sewing!
