Default Re: Rag Rug Craftalong

No worries K - My mom did her stint with the dusty blue/beige duck decor too. I think it was required in the 90s or something. I'm positive our daughters will look back in horror at this generation's propensity for bright, white, modern or the chocolate+anycolor decor. We'll be the new 50s/60s.

Amber, I can sympathize. I think I've had a bit of a stall with each rag rug I've made (I've got 2 full size and 2 minis). I also think that a more instant gratification project with this method would be a table top trivet or some coasters too. I'm definitely considering a bowl too on the horizon. This time around I'm interested in a rectangle and maybe a tshirt incarnation for the bathroom. Our bathroom rugs get washed so often (little boys 'nuff said) that those rubber backed ones just don't last long enough. I put a separate liner under my rag rugs (just rubbery shelf liner stuff) which means I can chuck the rug in the wash that much more without worries. I think DH would love a cushy tshirty rug for his shower step out area (and the toothbrush method makes THE cushiest, thickest, iron wearing rugs ever).
