You will love watching this gorgeous mug rug stitch out.  The finished size is 7×7 so make sure your hoop is large enough to be able to stitch this out.  The batting will make the hearts stand out and be slightly puffy.  You can use different colors for the quilting stitches, or stick to one color for the whole thing.
