Work in Progress Wednesday - Cathedral Window Mug Rug

I started a new butterfly bag and worked on it a bit this week.  



My main project this week has been a new one - new technique and new project.  After reading about Queenie's Cathedral Window project, and seeing images and tutorials on the internet, I decided it was time to give it a try. With four 7x7 inch pieces of muslin and four 2x2 inch pieces of cotton print, I made this 6.25x6.25 inch thing to put my coffee cup on.  It's a little wonky, but it's okay.  


I think I have the hang of it and my next CW project will be better.

    It's too pretty to put a drippy coffee cup on! I've never tried cathedral windows - yours looks fabulous!

    Nice Cathedral Window - there are lots of nice variations that you can try and it's a great way of using special bits of fabric in the window bits. xx

    Great little window piece! You're brave to set coffee on it. I'd certainly manage a drip sometime hah

    I love your new project. I don't think I've ever heard of or seen this technique before.

    I love your cathedral window, your fabrics are so pretty!
    I’d never use it as a mug rug! Maybe a pouch for keeping a special treasure safe?
    Lovely butterfly bag too!
    Hugs,
