Paper Pieced Fiestaware Continued

This is the first of what I hope to be many of my vintage Fiestaware mug rugs.  I've refined my pattern a little bit and have made this 7" x 7" mini to hold my coffee cup and a cookie or two.

I experienced a happy accident while making this when I inadvertently cut my background pieces wrong side up.  I decided to use them anyhow as I liked the subtlety of the the grey and white on the wrong side of the fabric as opposed to the starker black and white on the right side.

I used single-fold binding to finish this quilt.  For small quilts that get little to no edge wear, single fold binding suffices.  It is much less bulky than double fold and adds a nice crispness to the finished piece.  I found a great tutorial to make single fold binding on The Little Red Hen blog.
