This scrappy mug rug idea is one of the cutest Christmas sewing projects I have ever seen. When I found this excellent Scrappy Christmas Tree mug rug video tutorial by Quilt Addicts Anonymous, on YouTube, describing this new rug mug idea as an alternative to a coaster. The rug mug is like a coaster, but a lot bigger and makes a perfect spot to set your coffee or tea and still have room for a little snack, so clever! The rug mug is made using the super-easy quilt-as-you-go method, where you sew your quilt block pattern to the batting and backing all in one go. This quilt-as-you-go method is so fun and super easy for beginners. This rug mug idea is also an excellent scrap buster, but you can use anything, even a completely solid color. This mug rug makes an excellent option for family snacks and really brightens up the kitchen as well.
