This hexagon mug mat gives the maker a chance to stretch those English paper piecing muscles, but it’s still quick to sew up because it’s finished on the machine. Staci from Crafty Staci has a tutorial and a free English paper piecing pattern for making it. It’s a great project for using scraps! The middle hexagon is the perfect opportunity for fussy cutting a novelty print.
