Brighten a Room with a Pretty Sunflower Mat
It Makes a Lovely Gift Too!
Do you love Dresden Plates but are reluctant to commit to a full-sized quilt? Try them out by making this lovely sunflower mat to brighten a table in any room.
It can be used as a mug rug, candle mat, or centerpiece for a small vase of flowers. Or add Insul-Bright batting for use as a pot holder or hot pad. It’s also a delightful gift for a sunflower lover or anyone needing something special to put their drink and snack on.
Plus, it’s a quick project you can have finished up in an afternoon. Templates are provided and clear instructions will walk you through the process. You’ll also learn how to make the perfectly round center without curved piecing.
You may already have everything you need in your stash. Create a nice combination of yellows, golds, and oranges, then choose a brown for the center.
The finished mug rug, designed by Vikki Pac from Marshall Street Sewing, is about 11” across.
