The 4 Huggy Muggy Ruggies Quilt Pattern is a charming, feel-good project that’s perfect when you want to make a small gift with big heart. This set of four mug rugs features a clever pineapple-style construction, with a centre X — or “hug” — pieced first, then surrounded by rounds of strips that add both visual interest and a lovely sentimental touch. Using the Creative Grids Pineapple Trim Tool (CGRJAW3), each mug rug is trimmed accurately as you go, making the process smooth and satisfying. With only three rounds of strips added, these little beauties come together quickly — and best of all, no binding is required. Each mug rug finishes at 6in x 6in, making them ideal for mugs, teacups, or small plates. They’re a wonderful choice for hostess gifts, thank-you presents, or quick makes when you want something thoughtful without a big time commitment. This is one of those patterns that’s just plain fun to sew — and hard to stop at just one set. Creative Uses Thoughtful hostess or thank-you gifts Quick, satisfying mug rug projects Great introduction to pineapple-style blocks Ideal scrap-busting pattern with meaning Perfect for classes, demos, or group sewing days
