New Day Mug Rug – FREE Raw Edge Appliqué PDF Pattern

Start your day with a little sunshine! ☀️ The New Day Mug Rug by Lisa Capen Quilts is a cheerful raw edge appliqué project featuring a rising sun surrounded by rays of beautiful fabric.

This FREE downloadable PDF pattern is a fun way to play with your favorite fabric scraps, coordinate a special collection, or experiment with color. Make your sunrise soft and peaceful in blues and pastels, go bright and scrappy, or create an entirely different look with seasonal fabrics.

The finished mug rug measures approximately 6" × 10", making it a perfect little quilt for your morning coffee or tea, beside your sewing machine, on a nightstand, or anywhere you could use a small splash of handmade color.

Your FREE Download Includes:

• Printable PDF pattern
• Raw edge appliqué design
• Placement guide
• Appliqué tracing templates
• Instructions for creating your New Day Mug Rug

This project is designed for traditional raw edge appliqué using your sewing machine. Choose your favorite fusible appliqué product and finish the raw edges with a zigzag, blanket stitch, satin stitch, or your favorite decorative stitch.

PLEASE NOTE: This listing is for the PDF raw edge appliqué pattern only. It does not include machine embroidery or in-the-hoop stitch files. If you're looking for the 6" × 10" hoop machine embroidery version, that is a separate version of the New Day Mug Rug.

A Great Scrap-Busting Project

Those little pieces of fabric you've been saving are perfect for this project! Each ray of the sunrise can feature a different fabric, making New Day a wonderful scrap-friendly quilting project.

Make one for yourself or use the pattern again and again to create mug rugs for friends, teachers, coworkers, quilt retreat gifts, or little handmade surprises.
