Clamshell Mug Rug for Santa

I'm so excited to be participating in the Merry Mug Rug series over at an amazing quilting blog, Ellison Lane. I've been wanting to make a festive placemat for Santa's cookies and milk, so this mug rug was the perfect opportunity! I used a Clamshell, also known as Scallops, design. This entire project (minus the front side of the binding), is hand pieced. It's the perfect little project to work
