Hello Everyone,
Today was a good day! I got the urge to do some paper piecing, a small project, a mug rug.
So I dug into my scrap bin and pulled these fabrics out.
Some brights with white on black fabric. A bold and bright combination! Just my style.
Grabbed Unit J. This is a paper foundation from Cappucino a Judy Niemeyer pattern. The pattern can be found here.
I then lined up the fabric in the order that I wanted to see them appear on Unit J.
Pieced them in place.
Put batting and backing on and then quilted it with simple straight lines. Mind you I usually quilt on a long arm, so don't look too closely at the quilting as this was done on my domestic machine.
Then bound it, by machine with more white on black. Then VOILA!!
Tea is served! This was a fun little project and took just about 1 hour.
You read the title of this post correctly, there is a giveaway!!
I am giving away 11 fat quarters of Kaffe Fassett's Aboriginal Dot fabric. You can find this fabric in my shop by clicking here.
Why the giveaway? My daughter turns 18 today and I wanted to share our celebration with you!
To enter the giveaway you must visit my friend Sherri at A Quilting Life. Just click here and tell her that I sent you!
Hurry, the giveaway is open through Sunday night!
Until Next Time...

Visited Sherri, check. Love, love your mug rug. Was planning to make some mug rugs after Christmas as thank you gifts but was struggling with a good, universal, fairly quick and easy pattern, incorporating lots of unrelated colors, and you've provided me with the perfect answer. Thank you, thank you, I can't wait to try my hand. Happy December.

That mug rug is so pretty I'd want to put a coaster on top of it to make sure it didn't get coffee stains!
Happy Birthday to your daughter.. thanks for the lovely mug rug idea... so effective...
