Beginners Foundation Paper Piecing - How to make a Mug Rug

In this video, Beginners Foundation Paper Piecing - How to make a Mug Rug.

I teach you how to do Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP).

I will show you the tools that I used as a beginner, so there was no outlay on tools or products.

Once we have done the Foundation Paper Piecing part of the mug rug, we will then quilt it by using stitch in the ditch method.

So grab your scrap basket get your templates and Mini Quilt layout links below video on YouTube...And let's get started.

So what are you going to need?

some scraps from your scrap basket will be perfect for this project 

1 - 6-inch piece of wadding 

1 - 6-inch piece of backing fabric such as calico or quilting cotton 

you will need some basic quilting and sewing tools...

See the Video here for more details on supplies. 

Please be aware these are only layouts to give you a general idea of how to layout your quilt. I encourage you to play with the design and get the best layout for you. There is no measurements or instructions to go with them. If you have any problems, Please email me at the following address, and I will help any way I can:▶ askme.dds@gmail.com
