I really like your rug for your bathroom. It is just the right size and cheerful. I want to make one (or more) but I am afraid of throw rugs on the floor for tripping. We are in our 80's and fear falling. But, I really like them.

Yours turned out great. Did you have any trouble with it starting to "bowl". I have heard that many have that problem.

I pressed the curve flat and then pressed the tube around the curve and pinned it before I sewed it. I did this on every curve on both ends. It is laying flat now but time will tell after the first time it is washed. The trick is to not pull the tube tight around the curve....ease it in and press it in place.
