Torn is how Aunt Philly does it, it is how I do it, and how my cousin who teaches it does it. These are gorgeous when done, true heirlooms in my book.

My cousin starts her students off with 4 flat sheets so you can see how these rugs could eat down the uglies you bought on sale then realized you wouldn't be caught dead putting it in a quilt
