Many thanks @Lisalou1965:hug: My beautiful mug rug arrived in time for my breakfast cup of tea! It is absolutely lovely, expertly made and such cheerful sunny colours. A lovely surprise on such a strange morning, which has also been brightened by the birth of a friend’s grandson in Australia!   [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

I am so glad that arrived - and not as late as I feared. I am delighted that you like it, it was fun to make. As for expertly made....I think you are very generous in your praise!

Had a go tonight at making a daffodil like @Lilian ’s mug rug as Lilian kindly gave me a link to the pattern. My first attempt at paper pieced patchwork. Not quite as perfect as Lilian’s : I found it difficult to keep it square as it fitted together, but I managed to sort of even it up at the end. It still needs a good iron. Might give it to my mother when I next take her a food delivery. :D

That's really nice @Sheilago it is not a difficult pattern, I am so glad you wanted to try it, I take it as a compliment  :) :vintage:  I did add a small amount to the right of the flower just to balance it off a bit.  Thank you  :flower:  :)

Getting carried away with these mug rugs! Tried to come up with a quicker pieced one, much as I loved the daffodil , so I could give them as distanced Easter greetings to family that I’d normally be having  Easter Sunday dinner with. I’ll just leave them on the doorstep in a little bag and they can wash them if they want to be extra careful.
