Scrappy Batik Mug Rug
Pin It
I love working with batiks and used some scraps to make this little mug rug. Do you like love batiks? It seems like quilters either love them or hate them.
I just can't seem to throw away a batik scrap....of any size!
Here are some little pieces I sewed together for a journal cover.....hmmmm...I forgot to show this and...I gave it to my grandson for Christmas. Somewhere on my computer there must be a photo of it...sigh....time to cleanup my files.
I have just a few more scraps left.....
We had a wonderful dinner last night with our friends and I think we are getting old....we left at 3:00 pm and we were back home by 7:30 and.....it was a 45 minute drive each way. I did get some quilting done before we left and my quilt room is a mess.

I love using scraps for mug rugs. This one is really pretty.
Oh you know I LOVE batiks!!! Your scrap box is temptation indeed - how do you keep from playing in it all the time? I'm on a mug rug kick, they're really fun to whip up. I especially love yours in these bright batiks of course!
Pretty! I love the scrappy colors and meandering quilting with the little loops!
I do love batiks, even though I am such a traditional quilter and reproduction lover. Hubby and I saw Lincoln, marvelous. Our son and grandson saw Zero Dark Thirty said it was also wonderful.
I love batiks! I keep all my scraps from them in bins all by themselves so they are easy to find (but I don't think I have quite as many as you do, haha). Love the colors in your mug rug. Have fun at the movies!
I'm like you and can't throw out even a small piece....love them in mug rugs and minis. Great one Here.
I like batiks, but don't love them. The mug rug is fun, and a pretty good way to practice free motion quilting while still making something pretty and practical.
I love batiks, and I love you mat. I have trouble throwing scraps away.
I so understand the maybe we are gettin older thing. We just got back from meeting friends for breakfast for our Christmas gift exchange. It is so much easier to get together early in the day rather than late.
I do love batiks and now that I've looked at your mug rug maybe thats what I will do with my afternoon.
I love batiks, and popcorn at the show! Have a good time
I will admit I am a not a big fan of batiks. I did buy a lot when I first started quilting but I gave them all to my daughter who loves them.
I love the mug rug - very cute! I was never interested in batiks until I acquired some when a quilter sold her stash. They sat for awhile, but when I started to cut into them, it was love, love, love! To me the variations in the fabric make it seem alive - so much fun to work with! I noticed that you used a color to do your quilting! How did you select the color of thread?
Lovely mug rug. I don't either love or hate batiks, but that said they are not usually my first choice. I always go for florals if I can fit them in the project.
I wanna go!!! I love movie popcorn!!
I have it on the agenda to use up my batiks this year. They have been on the shelf far long enough!
And if I use them up, then I can buy more. :)
I love batiks. Can't buy them in Greece, but get some from Holland when I go, or some friends of mine bring them. The mug rug looks great!
LOVE batiks and I LOVE your mug rug too! Zero Dark Thirty hasn't arrived in my neck of nowhere yet but I did see Lincoln after Thanksgiving and loved it. I'm hoping to catch Life of Pi which is now showing nearby (at last!) this week.
It's beautiful! I love batiks, too. I can't throw away a batik scrap either.
I'm curious to know what you end up seeing. I recommend Lincoln. Other great movies out now: Life of Pi and Les Miserables.
Your mug rugs are beautiful!
I love your scrappy mug rugs!I hope you enjoyed the movie and the popcorn.
I love your mug rug.....so full of color.
I just love your batiks! What do you do with all the mug rugs? Do you use them all or give them away? Just curious :)
Wonderful mug rug and a glorious scrap basket!
Love batiks and don't see why people would hate them. Your mug rug is great.
I'll have to join you on the batik line. I love them. Your basket of batik scraps look as though they will provide you with more than a few good projects.
Yes... I love these batiks! Especially the pile of colors you have. lol. Your MugRug is great!
Hope you had a great time at the movies. I want to see Lincoln, also, but we better hurry up b4 it leaves the theaters and shows up on DVDs.
Good morning....
I love Batiks too...unhappily I can't find them here...But they are lovely!!!!
And your mug rugs are just a "must"...

7,30pm.... that´s the hour I start thinking: What am I going to cook for dinner?
Hour day time must be very different!
By the way: I do love batiks!
I love the batiks in your mug rug!! Batiks are hit or miss with me. I see the ones you use and think yummy but then I see others and don't care for them. Just bought a stash load in of Hoffman hand dyes. I love using those, they are so versatile
I like how you've done a different FM stitch in each segment :) Ellyx
ps I've posted a picture of the little sleeping bag on my blog. I had a lot of fun making it. Thank you again for the tutorial :)
Connie, your mug rug is really beautiful, I love those bright colors and I like using scraps, you made the dream project and the result is terrific, this mug rugs is just beautiful! I have to admit that for me to see that basket with scraps of batiks is irresistible, I just love the colors. Thanks for the inspiration!
Marisa.
