Eat Your Greens - Mug Rug

Vegetable - Brussel Sprout Mug Rug

It hasn't all been Dear Jane blocks here this Easter.  I have been working on some other projects which you will hear about in due course.  One little project was this 'Brussels Sprout Mug Rug'. A finish deserves a link with Crazy Mom Quilts.

I guess sprouts are popular with some people and not so much with others.  I tolerate one or two with my Christmas dinner, but I tend to draw the line there.  However, my husband loves them and tries to sneak them into as many dishes as possible.  I saw this Brussels Sprout fabric in a shop a while ago and had to purchase a fat quarter.  I always love to look at the 'fruit and veg' section in a quilt shop.

So for Easter he was gifted this little mug rug for his cup of coffee.  It was a quick make.  I didn't want to cut up the sprouts too much, so I went for a simple design, which is large enough for a cup and a biscuit.  I think he was quite pleased with it.
So which side of the fence do you sit regarding sprouts?

    Yes, we love brussel sprouts!! Either steamed/boiled, or you can slice and cook them in a pan with a little butter, sliced oinon and chopped bacon. They are great additions to meat casserols and veggie soup too.

    We too love brussel sprouts. I fry them a bit and sprinkle balsamic vinegar over them. They are definitely one of those veg that need a little help! Adore that mat.
