Liberty mug rugs

Christmas project No 1 complete!  Yes Sirree, this is a record for me I think.  Yesterday I came home from work early to pick up my sick youngster from preschool, and while she slept I finished these little gifts for friends.

I used this tutorial, with some minor modifications (primarily adding some interfacing to the liberty first), and am very happy with the result.  A great way to use up some tiny pieces of special fabrics - you know those scraps you just can't bear to part with?  Mega quick.  Mega easy.  This one's a winner in my book.

  5. Gret I love these so much (so much I pinned them on Pinterest!) and want to make some for a mate. Did you use a bit of quilt batting in yours as the tutorial does or just the interfacing. I'm not sure I'd love the look of the batting on the unfinished outside edge of the coasters? xx
