Yesterday morning I looked for bindings for the mug rugs. I was matching to the backs because the fronts are multicolor and almost anything would go with them.
I cut the bindings for all 7 of the mug rugs.
This table mat is 12" square so that meant one strip plus just a small amount from a second strip with 2 seams near each other. Instead I used a piece of this stripe which was cut on the lengthwise grain and was longer than 48". It was leftover from binding on a large quilt a few years ago.
Last night I sewed the binding on the mug rugs. These are all around 7.75" x 9.5".
I had time to finish the last 3 by the time the 10 o'clock news was over.
The 2 larger ones are 8" x 9.5" and the small one is 7.25" x 8.5".
I chose binding for the Nancy Crow fabric quilt and cut the strips. I hope to get that finished today.

The striped binding looks good on the table topper. Good tip/reminder to use a length of grain cut vs a crosswise cut for binding to avoid inconvenient joins.
Wow all the mug rugs are bound along with the table topper! Good job! That striped binding on the table topper is so cute!
Looking good, Wanda, and good progress, too, - all the way to finished!!!
Hugs!
