Bat Rug

Bat Rug
I took this class at one of the local quilt shops - I don't know why this is called a Bat Rug. Lots of batting, lots of tubes, lots of sewing. I decided to make my rug out of flannel vs. cotton fabric and everything that could go wrong, did go wrong, all of it "operator error". My goal was NOT to buy any fabric and I managed to use only my stash, even though I had to change some of the strips to rather dubious prints - lime green and brown skulls and black pirate skulls and crossbones for the binding, but I'm pleased with the way it turned out and realllllllllllllly happy it's done.

It's basically just strips of fabric with batting enclosed, sewed together tube fashion, joined, and cut into blocks. It gets pretty thick so you need to use a quilting foot, or a Pfaff machine with an IDT foot or have a machine with one of those special feet that are designed after the Pfaff IDT foot.

Yes, it's meant to be a rug. Although one of the gals in my class made one and she is putting it on a large kitchen counter. The other gals had floor space already picked out for it. I was the only one in class that made one out of flannel and I'll be using mine as a rug for the kids to sit on when they play video games or whatever.
