The construction should be easy, I can do stars and stuff.

And while I am asking, what would you use on the back of a quilted rug? I saw a gorgeous one the other day, but I didn't like the back, seemed like it would slip? Burlap, maybe?

Thank you!

I got an email from moda bake shop yesterday and they had a really cute bag. I've seen others on the Internet. Just google quilted bags. Would also like to know what to put on the back of the rug.

On the bag of quilted rugs. I made a quilt which gets on the floor I hand stitched some nonslip stuff to stop sliding and accidents happening. Does it matter what is on the back if it goes on the floor?
OR. do you call a throw on a sofa a rug as my SIL does., you can then use a my fabric one big piece or just scattered blocks . Some the back looks more exciting than the front especially when a long arm quiter has finished.

Hi Dotty,
I was thinking about the nonslip stuff, like the stuff you put in cabinets? Yes, sometimes I like the back better!!

There is some non-stick stuff that you put under rugs. But I've had trouble getting it to stay in place. You could sew it on and then it would stay.

I was thinking of something else, though. An aunt (now deceased) gave us some t-shirt decorations made of needle-punch (like a rug, made with yarn). She sprayed or spread a product on the back that allows it to stick on the t-shirts, then taken off and stick on something else. It won't stick any more if it gets dirty. I think it was a product made by Alene. I looked for it in stores and I was never able to find it. Maybe someone else knows what it is.

Jenny Doan has a tutorial on YouTube for an easy peasy quilted bag. My friend, Fran, here on the board, can whip three of them out in a day.
