Vary the Size of the Triangles to Adjust the Finished Size!
This little hexagon is so easy and makes a lovely mug rug. It’s such a quick and easy project that you may find yourself making one for every season and others to give as gifts.
While it looks simple (and it is!), there’s so much you can do with this basic pattern. It starts with cutting 4″ strips into triangles using a Hex N More Ruler (or any 60 degree ruler). However, the options are unlimited.
Start with smaller strips for coasters, or go as big as you want. It can go all the way up to place mat size. Or, strip piece the triangles before cutting them to add variety.
You can also play with quilting. This will be a fun project to try out quilting with decorative stitches instead of the traditional straight stitch.
The finished mug rug is about 7″ across at the flat sides.
