Mug Rug - easily started, easily finished

I hadn't thought it would be so quick and easy to make a mug rug, but it was.
One set of batik scraps (thanks, Birgit!) I sewed into a sort-of log cabin block, then backed it with a piece of McKenna Ryan artsy-fartsy fabric.
My machine quilting pattern is a curvy stipple, broken by freemotion daisies. I really like this pattern (thought of it myself!!) and it went very fast. I quilted the whole 8"x9" rug in about 20 minutes.
The mug rug is going to a relative, something to put on her desk at her new job.

Hi Karen,

sieht sehr gut aus.
Danke für die Denkhilfe. Ich hatte heute früh überlegt, wem ich die Restetüte gegeben habe. Jetzt weiss ich es wieder.

Grüßle bis heute abend
Birgit

looks great, your mug rug! Right now I'm just waiting ... WHEN will I give in and sew one, too? Quite amusing feeling ;-))
