Create a Delightful Little Quilt for St. Patrick’s Day

The Top Is a Beautiful Flower Too!

Pull a green from your stash and pair it with white or another neutral for this beautiful mug rug. The four-leaf clover design has a fun Celtic twist that results in a striking design.

While created as a mug rug, it can also be used as a potholder or hot pad. To heatproof it, add a layer of Insul-Bright along with the batting. The block can also be used in other projects.

And watch what happens when you change the color. The four-leaf clover becomes a lovely flower.

We love the designer’s cross-hatch quilting, which gives the little quilt a classic, modern look. Notice how the lines are closer together near the edges for an unexpected finish.

The mug rug or pot holder by Eliane from Patchwork & Poodles (made available by Janome) finishes at 8.25” square.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
