I know we don't like the idea of walking on quilts, but, on the other hand...
Look what great personality, color and warmth it adds to the room and tile floor!
It is scrappy, little $$ involved, and may fit the budget better than buying a rug.
It can be thrown into the washing machine. I can't do that with my large area rugs.
I wouldn't do this with a quilt I'd invested too much money or too many hours on, but a scrappy in an area that's not a main traffic area in my home...I think I'd consider it!
