The rag rugs were made from pieces to small for quilt block pieces. I leaned to sew by stichning these strings together on treadle sewing machine. then mother would braid them together for rugs. later years she used to make hooked rugs from the strings. there are patterns that you can buy to make string rugs. try one you will enjoy making one.
