Wonky Rainbow Mug Rug

I made a colorful Mug Rug for a swap partner and am pleased with how it turned out:

My 8 year old made an interesting observation about the purple Tufted Tweets fabric.  He said you can look at it two ways, one way is the bird sitting on a chair and the other way is the bird sitting on a stool in front of the window.  I never saw it that way!

The color goodness is 100% credited to Fabricworm.com for putting together their "Prism Bundle".  I LOVE this rainbow selection but never would have put it together myself.  It also has the green Quilter's Linen by Robert Kaufman (not used in Mug Rug) which I adore.  Must get some more of that!

I'm IN! I'm IN! DQS10!

I was lucky enough to get a spot in the Doll Quilt Swap 10!  I'm so excited!  For more information check out the Flickr Group.

I am also participating in the Scrappy Mug Rug Swap.  Since I've never participated in a swap before, I'm trying really hard not to get overwhelmed.

So far I have ideas for both but the DQS ideas will have to wait until I find out who my partner is.  Meanwhile, I am finishing a commissioned quilt before I can get started on either swap qulit.  Whew!

Oh, BTW, Day FOUR of being snowed in with three kids, husband, cat, dog, etc.  Can we say CALGON?
