I was so over calling mug rugs, "mug rugs" even before I knew what one was. I have an arsenal of really bad names, but my mom doesn’t know I know these words. So I had to think of something that wasn’t NSFM. So I’m trying "quiltini" on for size.
My two latest quiltini’s - which I’m pretty I make just so I can bind something.

Quiltini is a perfect name! Mug rug …. ugghhhhh.
September 29th, 2012I like your terminology!
September 29th, 2012Yep I go for quiltini although quiltarita is in the running too…
September 29th, 2012You are so dog gone clever. I love
September 29th, 2012Quiltini ! It is perfect. It puts
mug rug on the shelf as far as I’m concerned…and it will make people laugh
which is great fun. Thankyou.
They are so edging cute! (Even the auto correct feature is channeling our mothers… I said effing KFire, not edging!)
September 29th, 2012mug rug has always left a terrible taste in my mouth. i refuse to say it. (i also refuse to say whatevs, totes, and bestie. and i won’t use one of those nursing covers because i refuse to purchase anything named a hooter hider or an udder cover. blargh. i am frequently a word snob.) but i like quiltini very much.
September 29th, 2012I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who just really likes to bind stuff. Hand stitching the binding to the back is my favorite part of any quilt type project. I’ve been thinking about making a quiltini (see what I did there?) just so I can bind something. Plus my scraps are taking over my already really tiny sewing area.
September 29th, 2012I love quiltini! Mug rugs are just glorified coasters, quiltinis are adorable decorations with many uses! :-D
September 29th, 2012Perfect… perfectly perfection! From now on, quiltini it shall be!
September 29th, 2012I LOVE “Quiltini” - omgosh…it just makes me SMILE to say it…to THINK it…to SEE it…Quiltini..Quiltini..Quiltini…Oh yeh..that’s a keeper for sure!!! And I am with LC…I love to bind things…perhaps we need a new group…BindersAnonymous!
September 29th, 2012Quiltini sounds so much more funnerer. I spent a day binding orphan blocks just because it felt so good. Made mine into Block bunting for the shop.
September 29th, 2012Your quiltinis are sooo cute–in a good way.
September 30th, 2012Great idea and two really adorable Quiltinis in my humble opinion.
September 30th, 2012Quiltini is a great idea, Monica! Not only can we sit our coffee cups on them, but we can perch our martini glasses on them and enjoy the quiltini pattern through the glass!
September 30th, 2012I love “quiltini” it completely opens up the possibilities for tiny quilts. I really like the fabrics you fussy cut for the Halloween quiltini.
September 30th, 2012I totally support you with “quiltini”
September 30th, 2012‘Quiltini’ it is!!! Marvellous!
September 30th, 2012I like it. Quiltini sounds both adorable and intoxicating.
September 30th, 2012Quiltini. Stealing it. :) xo
October 1st, 2012Quiltini is awesome. I too, refused to call them “mug rugs” long before I knew much about them or cared what they were.
October 1st, 2012Yeah mug rug is pretty awful. I’ve never been able to bring myself to make one because of the name. Of course, one could always call them a ‘coaster’! Quiltini is much cuter though.
October 2nd, 2012Really diggin’ quiltini! If you say it real fast and in a squeaky type voice you sound like a Jawa (they say “Utinni!” if you didn’t know) from Star Wars lmao :D
October 2nd, 2012That is so funny! The Quiltinis is the name of my bee!!!
October 2nd, 2012SO cute & love Quiltini!!! I call them Martini Mats on occasion too lol!
October 3rd, 2012It was an itsy bitsy teeny weenie black and orange and green quiltini..that she made for the mugs to sit on! :)
October 3rd, 2012Love “quiltini” ! It is so fun!
October 4th, 2012And really explains its greater purpose as a great little piece of art, over it’s practical use as a coaster. Mine gets well used, now I have an excuse to make many more!
I thought of making a quiltini (or 2) from the scraps of every quilt I make, as a reminder of what I have done.
I LOVE the quiltini name! I’ve never made a mug rug before - because, let’s face it, the name just bites. But a quiltini, now that sounds fun and forget about the coffee - let’s party with a martini!
October 4th, 2012I love the term and think you should sell them. I ADORE THEM!!!
October 4th, 2012love love love the word :) and the items !! and yes, I also love to do the binding.
October 8th, 2012that is a great name for them. i like it much better than mug rug.
