A Little Mug Rug and a New Quilt Started!


Hi everyone

I've had a busy week, flitting from project to project.
First up I made this mug rug as a farewell gift for my daughter's teacher.


Teamed with a pretty bone china cup..... her teacher loved it!
.

Mug rug measures 5" x 10"


As I am nearing the end of 2 major projects, I decided to start another.


I've always wanted to make a Grandmother's fan quilt.......


I had fun playing with different layouts.  I used 6 fat quarters to make 30 x 8.5" blocks, not including the background fabric.



This is the layout for the center section that I have decided on.
Now to work on the borders - I have already done the artwork and I hope to show you progress in my next post.
Until then, happy stitchin'
Rhianon.
