| I'm using mostly cotton bed sheets bought at local thrift shops. Turning someone else's trash into my money making treasure! I've been posting this question for a couple of years now, but haven't run into anyone else who's making them. I was looking to swap patterns or exchange tips on making them. It's sometimes hard parting with the gently used, almost perfect condition, higher end label sheets. I sometimes can't bring myself to cutting them into strips! I don't have any pics of my rugs, but you can search for an image on google. |

| I made two of them years ago. My first one turned out like a mexican hat, as I did not put enough stitches on the corner. It was fun, but I sort of stopped hobbies until I catch up on other chores. Darlene |

| This is something I think I want to get into at some point. I just haven't found the time yet! I have too many things going at once now....sigh.... |
