"Modern" Valentine Mug Rugs...

As I've told you before, we are getting a Modern Quilt Guild here in LV.  The first meeting is in a couple of weeks so I'm trying to incorporate some "modern" piecing into my quilts....These are little mug rugs that I'm going to give a couple of my fellow guards (teachers) on Tuesday.  I'm also giving them the mugs, the hot chocolate, and maybe a few Valentine colored Dove chocolates in the mugs.  A little "relaxation" gift set for a few teachers who go above and beyond and are feeling the stress at work (and don't have an outlet like quilting to calm them down!!)....

While I worked on binding those (using single-fold binding--a first for me), my friend Denise was piecing together a rag quilt for a friend's baby shower.  The theme was "monkeys"....

A very cute line of fabric, though I'm not sure of the name.  But it isn't overpoweringly "monkey/jungle"....too cute for a little boy, huh?  She will do the trimming and washing and have this ready for the shower in two weeks!!  Easy peasy....Happy Quilting!
