When my foster mother was wintering with us, she bought a new Brother sewing machine as well as the quilting presser foot.  I gave her a couple of 12″ blocks to practice with and she did a great job of learning how to quilt with a domestic machine as opposed to a long-arm.  As these two quilt squares you see below have been staring at me (probably mocking me), I have been trying to figure out what to do with them.

My foster mother just wanted me to bind them – but, that just didn’t ‘feel’ right to me.  Finally, I figured out what I wanted to do with them!  I cut them diagonally, corner-to-corner twice and will make four mug rugs out of each block!

Ah yes, my hat it has three corners, three corners has my hat!

Ooops, don’t know why that song keeps running through my mind when I set these triangles apart.

Once I have the binding on them, they will make a perfect mug rug gift set for anyone who likes using larger-than-a-coaster mug rug!
