Make Mug Mats

At the NBQA Quilt show, with their entry fee, visitors are given a booklet guide to the show and a "favor" of a "yo yo" pin or "mug mat."

NBQA members are encouraged to make Mug Mats for the show and turn them in at NBQA general meetings or to Ginny Perry.

There are 3 types of mug mats to choose from. 2 traditional types made from scrap fabrics of your choosing, the 3rd  is new this year -our "NBQA Signature" mug mats. The Signature mats are unique because “NBQA Quilt Show 2008” is written along a center muslin strip.

4-5" squares of fabric; use 2 squares each of coordinating fabrics.
Fold the 4-5" squares in half, wrong sides together and press.
With the batting on the bottom, place the base fabric right side up on top.
Next, lay down your folded squares in an over, under, over, under pattern.

The batting is inside. The mug mat is complete.

This can also be done using triangles and circles.
