Good to see you here Mathew. A mug rug is a small quilt that is large enough to take a mug and a biscuit/cookie/piece of cake. I have received various sizes from 9"x5" to 10"x8" and one hexagonal one about 9" across. Not all of them have a binding on around the edge, so it can be a good way to practise different ways of finishing quilts - and of trying out different making techniques to see how you get on with them. If you go here [url]see-quilts/show-and-tell-quilts/[/url] you will be able to see some of the mug rugs that have already been made & posted. It tends to be the receiver that posts the mug rug on show & tell (which reminds me I haven't posted any of mine yet
, I'll try & get it done next). The first post that Rita directed you to gives the general guidelines of what is supposed to happen, but it is an easy going exchange.
Would you like one of my White Horses? I am doing a series of chalk figures that are found on the various chalk Downs of England, and still have a few horses unspoken for....
