My Grandma had one that she used as a bath mat. That thing will never wear out. I can't remember how she made it.

Betty, my husbands Grandma made those rugs all the time. She also used the same method for making pillows. That thing will last at least 25 years with daily use. I know because I have one that is still going strong.

I would love to see a tute on that rug, my Great grandmother used to make those as well as the braided, and I would love to learn how to make both.
