are you kidding?.....who does that kind of stupid thing? Never in my life heard of doing that.
Modular home and Mobile home builders used to do it as a cost savings. Get the floor down, throw the carpeting and linoleum/vinyl down then put the walls up. My sister bought a new avocado and gold decorated mobile home back in the 70's and hers was carpeted that way. She also had many gouges and cuts in the flooring from careless builders. Meh - you get what you pay for i suppose.

I don't care for the blues in the quilt; something about them is 'off'. The whole quilt is not something I would choose.
