Hello Everyone!It's that time a year again ... WICKED HOP! I'm so excited to be part of this hop.
I am totally addicted to the hops!!
I had great plans to make something unique ... something a bit challenging ... but yeah - that didn't happen!!
So, I took my favorite quilt square idea - the strips ... and made some scraps into little mug rugs for the girls at work. Last year, they all got some pin cushions ... so this year I wanted something else. I'm excited to show them off next week.All I did was take some scraps - so I had the backing fabric (which I don't have *anything* to match - and it's not my style -so perfect for this) ... I took last year's Halloween fabrics ... randomly made them into strips ... (my cutting wasn't too accurate!! So just over 1.5 inches maybe a bit more)
I had some random scraps of batting leftovers (FYI - I have TONS of scraps cause I never make a quilt to size it seems) .... and that was it.I chose to sew directly with the backing so I could see the quilt lines - then added more quilting ... and to make this EASY ... I sewed about 1/2 inch around the rectangles ... then used the sheers around the edges. VERY easy.
Can you not see these in Christmas fabrics ... then Valentine's fabrics? Oohhh the possibilities! (I tried a misc color scheme - and it worked great!)THEN! I've been dying to make a spider web like one ... But, I could not figure out the whole cutting on a 60 degree thing - and I tried following some instructions - but I didn't do that very well! So, I think the next time I'm at Walmart - I'll grab their cheapy ruler and go from there - I LOVE the look of it - just well ... yeah!
(hahaha)

Great mug rugs. Sweet fabric. Thanks for sharing.
Great spider web quilt.
You're spider web didn't turn out so bad! I'd throw some swoopy quilting between the web lines to distract people's eyes even more, but I love how the colors look. And your co-workers are lucky gals to get homemade gifts, I hope they appreciate the value of them! Thank you for sharing your projects!
Those are adorable and yes, I can see them made for other holidays.
So neT so times our second choice is best

Happy Halloween!
The great thing about hops is getting introduced to new blogs and seeing their creativity. These are so cute that I just may haul out the Halloween fabric and make some later today. I'm now a follower.
Your projects are so cute. Don't put yourself down for your spiderweb block...I think it is cool! Thanks for sharing with us.

How nice to make gifts for your coworkers. I'd be thrilled to get something this cute from a pal at work.
The patchowork spider web is wonderful.

I like the mug rug spider web....great job....
Nice try I love it I could never figure out instructions on how to cut without proper ruler.lol
You can't beat strip quilting for stashbusting. Great projects.
Great projects! Love the quilting and shears was superb idea.
Totally agree, spider web quilt would look great in any fabric choices.
You could use the Creative grid's spider web ruler which is narrower than a 60 degree ruler. I also have a free pattern which doesn't use any specially ruler for spider web quilt. Check that out too.
Lucky ladies at work. They are going to love their Halloween rug mugs. Thanks for sharing.
Spooktacular mug rugs...lucky coworkers!! Your spider web block is great. Thanks for sharing. Happy Haunting, Pauline
Great web mug rug. You did a wonderful job.
Your mug rugs are great. I'm sure they will be a hit. I love your web! It almost has a 3D effect. Great job!!
Super cute wicked projects Fignie !
Very nice!
The strings are cute but the spider web is my favorite. Looks good!
Of course the spider web would be great.
Cute spider web mug rug.
What fun, thanks for sharing.
I bet the girls loved the mug rugs. Your web is a great addition. I love to "strip" too. Great fun.
I love the spider web pattern and it looks just wickedly perfect to me! :O)
I'm sure your colleagues will love those mug rugs - -great idea!
I think you did a great job on them. This is such a fun hop.
I can only imagine the thrill of the girls at work with their wonderful mug rugs. Your spider web rocks. You can spend your money on a less expensive ruler at Walmart, if you want, and personally I don't think you need it. Your projects are amazing. Thanks for participating and being a great inspiration.
Your mug rugs are great! Yes I can see them for all of the holidays. Your spider web one turned out great.
