I've been in a couple of mug rug swaps. The size is large enough to accommodate a quilt block or two (say, a 4" or a 6" block) but small enough to be finished in a reasonable time.

I made mug rugs as favors for the Magpies biennial meetup earlier this year. Pictures in this post:

Funny thing, I've made mug rugs but I have never made quilted postcards.

P.S. If you do a Google images or Pinterest search with the term "Christmas mug rug" you will get hundreds of hits.

Hello Mary in Oregon/Bobbie sews more/Nann for your comments on sewing and mug rugs. Since my mug rugs are small think I will use small squares o r something I could applique. Haven't made my mind up yet. Sandy$ in Idaho
