New Member looking for HELP :)
 
Hello From Louisiana. I am looking for instructions on how to make a rug from small squares of double knit. I saw a picture on this site but can't seem to find the instructions. I want to make one for my 3 yr old grandsons bedroom.

I also found this one for using strips of old tees and stretchy materials: http://dakotacityquilter.blogspot.co...e-rag-rug.html.
I hope these two links help you get started. ;-)

Welcome from Ontario, Canada. I saw one and had a chance to examine it. She had started with a foundation fabric. The double knit was cut into about 3 inch squares. The squares were folded in half and stitched to the background kind of like prairie points slightly overlapping each other. She had started in the middle sewing down the center of the triangle piece, than placed the next triangle half on top of the first one and so on. When it was time to do the second row, the triangle points was pushed upright with the next triangle tight against the sewing line. The pairie points push upright kind of look like little sails and it made a nice, soft but durable mat. It was very heavy but the person said she just throws it in the washing machine and then into the dryer when it gets dirty. I don't know if you can get the idea from my description but good luck.
