Microwave “Mug Rug”

 Years ago Julie made me a mug rug, and I used it in front of the microwave oven. Since I have redecorated the kitchen, I wanted to make a new one. I have lots of scraps so I measured how big the new one should be, and made a big slab.

I cut a piece of quilt batting, a piece of fabric for backing, 

and then had some fun quilting it in wavy lines.

Then I added binding.

Here is the new mug rug in place, andI really like it.
