Our Christmas Eve was pretty quiet. We celebrated with our two grown sons last weekend, and were having other family over for Christmas dinner the next day. So I needed a little project to work on while my husband and I watched movies and hung out together. That morning I saw
this post on Crazy Mom Quilts and right away I knew what I wanted to do!
I got a new mug from a student in my class, and it needed a mug rug! I used a granny square block that I had already made and hand quilted it to make this fun mini quilt.
I love making granny square blocks out of scraps, and someday hope to have enough to make a lap sized quilt. This one, though, went perfectly with the new mug and gave me some perfect hand sewing to do on a quiet day.
Thanks for the inspiration, Amanda Jean! Linking up with
Finish It Up Friday at Crazy Mom Quilts.
