I finally arrived at my idea just in the nick of TIME! I would STITCH up a couple of economy blocks (that's the SAVE part :) made up of NINE scrappy pieces in the colors of my favorite baseball team, the Colorado Rockies! (lots of NINE involved in playing baseball - nine positions on the field, nine innings...)
The Rockies colors are black, white, purple, and silver, so what's not to like about sewing up a couple of mug rugs made of those colors in polka dots and swirls?!
A view of the back - more purple!
And with some morning coffee!
My mug rugs measure about 7 inches square and will get lots of use here in Loveland, Colorado, where we are big Colorado Rockies fans!

beautiful colors for those mug rugs
I should have joined in on this one.... I was born on the 9th day of the 9th month in a year with two 9s in it and I weighed 9 lb 9 oz at birth. I think I have 9s covered lol Love your mug rugs
What a clever idea! Those colors look great together and you took the theme and really "hit it out of the park" :)
Lovely mug rugs, and love the colours.
Very clever! And perfect little mat to have next to you during the games. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
You seem to have an endless supply of coffee cups to go with every mug, LOL
What a great idea! The colors are stunning. I never tire of coffee mug mats. ;)
Great way to meet your challenge. They look great.
What a cool color combo. Functional and fun. mary in Az
