Hobby Lobby and other craft stores sell a product for the back of hand made rugs so they become non-slip. Just remember to use a nice even coat and don't be stingy with it. If I were going to make a floor rug quilt, I would dig out the polyester. That stuff is just darn near Indestuctable and if you use the old heavy stuff they made pants with, it will never fade.
