I was looking for a quick idea for my small group and saw this. Thanks so much for sharing, I used it last night and it was a hit. I read some of the blogs about what to do to keep them from slipping/sliding. Seems the puff paint didn't work so well, I didn't have time to get some of the spray on stuff but I did have some of that non slip shelf liner. I went ahead and put squares together (remember I was in a hurry) quilted it to an old hand towel then laid the shelf liner on the back hand taked it and then put binding on - put it on the backover the shelf liner. I made 3-1/2 in binding and then brought it over to the front. Didn't have time to stitch the top down but it looked pretty good.

Wow, Those are nice. Another benefit of towel-back rugs is: Before toss into washing machine run the rug around and under the bed to dust...
