Next up ....

... is the Scrappy Mug rug swap!! I almost finished two mug rug tops over the weekend. My secret partner had suggested quite a few different things, but one of the colour combos she mentioned was red and aqua. Well, I just so happen to have a lot of red and aqua!

I started by pulling out some fabrics, and next thing you know I had this!

I didn't really start with much of a plan, I just knew that those little owls needed to be a focal point.

Getting started ....

And before I knew it, I had two tops almost done!!

I thought the the bottom of the two looked a little plain, so I fussy cut a few more of those owls, and turned them into hexies!!

Now I just have to sew those little hexies down, and get started on the quilting!

Technically, I think you only need to make one mug rug .. but they are so fast and easy to make, that I can't see harm in sending two!!
