Your rugs are beautiful!

One more question, did you cut your fabric on the bias like the pattern says? I have so many scraps in various size strips that I would like to use and it would be impossible to cut bias! I am all about using those scraps.

Those are so pretty. I always wanted to try that.

No I did not cut them on the bias and it was just fine..they lay very flat and are just fine...really have no idea why you would have to use bias

Thanks, I am getting ready to start. These will be great scrappy rugs for my dogs to lay on at the foot of the bed.

Any idea how much fabric it takes to make a rug?

I think I just found out what to do with those soft knit fabric yardages I have had for such a long time. My doggies would love a nice large mat for their beds or hardwood floor in my office. Thanks for sharing the web-site. Will check it out.

Good luck with your sales.

I am not sure really...I did a more scrappy one that was about 6' in diameter and I know that took about 30 yds of fabrics

Those were REALLY popular in the 1950s They were usually croched from strips that were just torn. My Mom made one but she pressed and folded her strips so there were no ravelings. She made it like 3 or four years befor I was born (1954) It was always in front of the kitchen sink. It finealy wore out in 1980
