Twelfth Finish of 2011: Hexagon Mug Rug


I can’t seem to get enough of English paper pieced hexagons. I haven’t made a large project with them yet, but the small projects just keep on coming. Whenever I make hexies, I make more than I need for that particular project. I had quite a few left over from a hexagon pillow I made earlier this year, so it seemed natural to make a mug rug. I pieced the top a while ago, but only recently finished it. I gave it to my mom, who liked it. This is my first mug rug, and it's just big enough for a cup of espresso.

  2. Your mom didn't 'like' it; she LOVED it! Such a nice gesture when you knew I could use one! It also fits a NF Vanilla Latte perfectly too! :-)
    Thank you, Rachel!

  3. Love it. How big are the hexies? I was at a lqs yesterday and notice that they we selling hexi papers no bigger than 1/4 inch. They looked like a bag of communion crackers.
