Mug Rug Swap

The Las Vegas Modern Quilt Guild had a mug rug swap for our February 2011 Meeting tonight.  I modeled mine after the logo created by Andrea:

Vic @ ZanyQuilter presented a Wonky Blocks Tutorial and let us chop up her her Central Park layer cake to make the blocks.  This was first time having to haul my sewing machine crap away from home so I attempted to be organized.  I got a Petite Press Portable Iron and a portable iron/cutting mat from Joanns with sale upon sale.  This is something I needed at home anyways because with my big iron I open seams while shutting others at the same time and I'm constantly running back and forth between the iron and the ironing board.  So this solves two problems!  But then I lost my 1/4" foot.  I realized how much I love that foot as soon as it goes missing.  I'm not even bothering hunting for it... I've already ordered another.

Here's my finished blocks.  These are actually the first 'quilt blocks' I've ever made.  The fabric is super cute too.
