I had chosen backing fabric for these mug rugs over a week ago but hadn't trimmed them yet. Yesterday was trimming and layering day.
This set of four got trimmed and layered too. Now I need to decide on thread color(s). It would be nice to chose one color to quilt all seven of them.
i haven't done as much knitting in the last week but last night I finished the second one in the set of three that I had started. This is the first time I've used this lavender and white yarn.
My neighbor helped dig some Sedum plants that were near our lot line a couple weeks ago. She is going to put in a fence for her dogs and we were afraid the plants would get trampled. They had already been chopped into by the crew that cleared her lot line. I planted them yesterday in several pots. They are a hard plant to kill so we'll see if they survive being planted so late (and close to winter). I have had them in pots over the winter before and they always did ok.

Cute mug rugs,would a multicolor thread work?
It would be nice to use one color of thread :) For piecing I have two machines set up, one with a neutral khaki color and the other with either black or white as needed, lol. It’s such a small thing, but I don’t like changing out thread colors, lol.
Scrappy fun! I like purple or lime green for multi-fabric quilts.
Lime green is usually a nice neutral for me, but most any green makes a good neutral for multi-color pieces. And those sedum plants would probably survive an apocalypse, so they will surely survive a winter in pots!!!
I can just picture a steaming cup of cocoa on your mug rugs. They sure are festive and ready for the winter season. Do you gift many of your knitted dish clothes ? You sure have a healthy stash of them made this year.
I usually use variegated thread for quilting a multi-color project and they seem to blend nicely. What delightful mug rugs you've made along with your pleasant colors in the dishcloth.
Hugs!
I hope your plants survive - it got down to 37 last night our coldest since fall has finally arrived. Nice that your neighbor helped dig the plants out I know that would have been hard to do with your back.
I would think that just about any variegated thread would work on all of these.
