I found a 100 ft clothesline looking on the web: http://www.clotheslinesource.com/clo...lothesline.cfm
or one on amazon for 200 ft: http://www.amazon.com/03871-ECLIPSE-.../dp/B000UGM6G0 If fact it looks as if there are several sellers on amazon.
It looks like an interesting project. I wonder if you could use those tube turners for this.

Interesting idea but if you use "good" fabric, this would wind up being a very expensive bath rug that would be pretty labor intensive to make! And, if you use ugly fabric, it would wind up being a very ugly bath rug!
That said, I've done some wrapped pieces (bowls and trivets) based on the "It's a Wrap" books and they were really fun and "funky". I keep a bag for scrap strips that I use for these projects when I just want a change of pace from other stuff.

I just may have to try this. I printed out the pattern. Just what I needed - another to do! LOL
I have a screen porch and I wanted a new rug. I redid the cushions on the furniture and need a rug to match. This will be perfect.

My first thought was to sew the clothesline in as I sewed the channels, but the pattern calles for them to be inserted in the front and the back inbetween the batting layers, of which there are two. I wonder if they could both be sewn in as the channels are sewn? Has anyone tried it?

Interesting. I don't think I would sew channels and then put in cording, I think I would put the cording in the fold first and then sew, much less work I would think but having not made this, it is just a guess on my part. I to would wonder why someone would use the expensive quilting fabric for a rug. Mayby something from Wal-mart, but floor rugs are pretty cheep.. again, interesting idea.
