first there were wall warmers, then bed warmers, now floor warmers............easier to buy a rug already made and save my fabric for "real" quilts..........

JoAnn's has it online. They don't carry it in the stores. They call it Fiber-Lok Rug Backing. Here's the link.

Here is a picture of a floor quilt/rug that I want to make. It is made with three Stonehenge panels and a backing piece. You sew them together in strips, then chenille it and paint the anti-slip material on the back. It is soooooooooooo gorgeous. I saw it in a quilt shop in Puyallup, WA during the summer. I am going to a Stonehenge trunk show in Phoenix AZ this coming Saturday and hope they have some of the panels there. Anyone from AZ going to that trunk show?

I never even thought of this idea, but it is wonderful. I was thinking about a little throw rug in my laundry room, just so clothes taken out of the washer don't fall on the floor. A quilt rug is a perfect solution. (I was going to crochet one, but this is so much better.)

I used to make painted floor cloths/rugs and any rubberized paint will work for a backing. You can buy it at the big box stores. They sell it usually for 2 purposes - non-skid rubber step coatings, and some of the truck bed liners that come in a gallon can. Both stay flexible and are washable.

Yes, I found that ... however, I am in Canada ..........

They have stores in Canada. I would think they have a warehouse too. Maybe one of the stores could tell you if they do.

I have made a few. I love them. Wash , dry & put back down. Get in the winter with snow. I do often use scraps for them.

Awesome I like the idea. I want to make one for my dining room for my puppies under the table. But I want to make it out of jeans.

A quilted floor rug just opens up so many more ways to use my quilting ideas, especially art quilts that are running through my head all the time. Quilting doesn't need to be just for beds coverings or wallhangings.
