Do you remember that pile of scraps? That is how they ended up.
Tiny triangles and bigger triangles from Elephant parade blocks. These are basically raw edge applique as I just fused them onto interfacing.
These are on the other hand pieced leftovers from #blocks and some fused and pieced squares. Note to myself: make the squares 8x5 next time around :)
Mug rugs are perfect project for scraps and leftovers or for trying out some technique. Plus they are pretty quick and easy to make :)
Which side do you prefer? Are you triangle or square fan?

They compliment each other so well! Awesome job. I think I like the triangles a teensy bit more!
ReplyDeleteWith the white binding I like the squares, and with the black binding I like the triangles! What does that mean about my personality? :)
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of triangle scraps of the elephant parade too. I love your mug rugs. I want my granddaughters play with the. But there is enough to make some of these beautiful mug rugs too. I love them. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteJust so pretty! I love this as a way to use the scraps left from making a quilt!
ReplyDeleteToday.... I love your squares just a tiny bit more!! They show off your quilting so beautifully , too!

Me? I am with the triangles side! You make the loveliest projects from those leftover bits. Especially with that handsome matchstick quilting. Nice work, Vera!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love these! Great to make them reversible too. So love your style, Vera!
ReplyDeletethese are just so lovely Vera, I love the matchstick quilting especially and the fact that they are reversible :-)
ReplyDeleteThose are too pretty to spill coffee (or in my case - Diet Dr. Pepper!) on :) As it turns out - and I never even thought about it before - I'm a fan of squares - I had no idea! I'm also a big fan of matchstick "organic" quilting - fun to do, and stress-free - that's a win/win : )
ReplyDeleteI love what you have done here! The colours really sing. Thanks for linking up to #scraptastictuesday
ReplyDeleteI could not have been more wrong on the bag guess :) I love the triangles!
ReplyDeleteLove the bright flying geese and HSts against the low volume fabrics!
ReplyDeleteAnother clever project Vera - You are so darn talented and creative. I especially like the white thread and the quilting! It really adds a lot to the mats. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use scraps and those little cut off HST! I have a bin full of them...been thinking about making a pillow, and maybe a matching mug rug.
ReplyDeleteI cannot choose a side, but I like the one with the white binding best. My scraps always seem to become pincushions.
