It's based on a 1&#8243;x1&#8243; grid (finished squares), so if you want to scale up you can figure out the math. For instance, you could\u00a0add 1\/4&#8243; to each piece and end up with a mug rug that was 5.5&#8243; x 8&#8243;. So first, we're going to cut out 16 white squares at 1.5&#8243; x 1.5&#8243;. Then cut 5 squares, one for the centre and four for the star points, at\u00a01.5&#8243; x 1.5&#8243; of both feature fabrics (the red and gray). (If you want a little more room to play with the wonkiness of each star, cut 4 of the squares at 2&#8243; x 2&#8243;)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13581 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/mug-rug-1.jpg\" alt=\"mug-rug-1\" width=\"550\" height=\"406\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/mug-rug-1.jpg 550w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/mug-rug-1-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/mug-rug-1-500x369.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/mug-rug-1-150x111.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 550px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 550\/406;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13581 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/mug-rug-1.jpg\" alt=\"mug-rug-1\" width=\"550\" height=\"406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/mug-rug-1.jpg 550w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/mug-rug-1-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/mug-rug-1-500x369.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/mug-rug-1-150x111.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Now cut all but one of each set of\u00a0coloured squares in half, from corner to corner, to make triangles.
