Your rug is lovely.

It is beautiful and hard for me to imagine how you did it. Very nice.

It looks like it has binding on it.. .does it? Was it put on after you cut the chenille?

Yes once you sew all the layers and cut the rows for the chenille you add a binding. Then you wash and dry it.

Love the rugs. Will you put a gripper material underneath if you are putting it on tile or wood flooring? My dogs are so hard on our throw rugs this might be an idea to try. I've done a chenille jacket. I was thinking of trying to stich the rows using my long arm for large pieces or even a scarf.

Yes it would need some sort of gripper material if used on hard wood or tile floors. I am very very careful with that as my grandmother broke her hip when she slipped on one of those braided type slippery rugs so many years ago and suffered the rest of her life with that. She had to have pins put in and over the years they had to come out and she had to walk with crutches the rest of her life. She was 40 when that happened and lived to be 81.

Sew Pretty! Ladies for a quick & easy tutorial - go to the Moda Bakeshop. There is a lesson (look under recipes) on how to make a chenille potholder, including putting on the binding. It would make a perfect small practice project if you were afraid to start with a rug.

Great rug!

What did you use for the base of the rug? You did a good job. I made a chenille rug using 5 layers of different color fabrics, cut thur all 5 layers. It turned out real cute.
