Scrappy Mug Rugs
Scrappy mug rugs are always fun to make from leftover quilt fabrics. I used up the scraps from my Fat Quarter bundle of Ambrosia by Jinny Beyers. I used most of it for Psychedelic Ambrosia placemats that I need to finish putting the binding on and show you.
I don’t have a walking foot that works well on my old 15-91 Singer and you can see when I did the straight line stitching that the fabric pulled a little. I think it gives it a little wiggle design.
The sizes vary from 5″ by 8″ up to 7″ by 9″ inches. 
I just pieced all the scraps together, some weren’t straight but that didn’t bother me.
I really used small pieces on this one and of course all of the batting I used was….scrap pieces too!
I’ll be linking these to SewCalGal’s A Handmade Christmas Challenge in April as these will make perfect Christmas gifts for my grandchildren to give to teachers.

Those mug rugs are really cute!
Well, now, these just have happy, happy, happy written all over them! LOL
I absolutely LOVE these! They remind me of stained glass!
Great mug rugs , so colourful and useful too:-)
I love all the colors you used in these. What a great way to use up your stash! 🙂
Honestly I like the "not straight" piecing and the "wiggle effects" you got. I think those give them far more character and interest.
These are lovely gifts for your grandchildren's teachers. Unique and handmade and beautiful. Creative Rug Mug Bliss…
They are beautiful. I LOVE THEM !!!!
Lovely for mug rugs, but I could see them hanging as a wonderful, artful grouping!
Very pretty! Great use of scraps!
These are so rich in colour – great idea!!!
These are dynamite! Wonderful colors. You must be at your machine 24 hours for all you produce. (Sorry about the double hit today. If there's a way I can remove it let me know.)
The colors of that fabric are beautiful…great way to use up scraps (including the batting)!!
Great idea! I've been looking for some sort of mug rug to put under our water pitchers at church. This the best idea that I've seen.
Great idea for Christmas gifts! Nice job using up those scraps!!!!
Good idea for teacher – or anyone the kids deal with outside of family- gift, I made a bunch of them and sent them to my mom last christmas…she has dementia and in an assisted living so she didn't know they were from her daughter but I was told she takes a different one with her every day to a coffee clatch thing they have! I am happy about that!
Love these! The colors are so vibrant.
They're so beautifully colorful! Great Christmas gift idea.
I know first hand how lovely these are. I won one last year and look at it everyday Connie…:)
The colors in these are so rich! Great job!
Great idea, Connie. They look so pretty too.
