French Braid Quilted Mug Rug
Simple and quick, this French Braid Quilted Mug Rug pattern is the perfect present idea for almost every occasion. Whether you're looking for a quilted Christmas gift or for something special to make for your best friend's birthday, you can't go wrong with this mug rug pattern!
From the blogger: "This latest in my monthly mug mat series is a great way to try out the French braid piecing technique! It’s much easier than it looks. This is also a perfect scrap buster, since it’s constructed using strips that are only 1 ½” wide. I used a solid piece of fabric for the backing, but there’s also the option of using the same method there, to use up even more of those scraps. This simple project makes a great gift!"
