Thanks Wendy, the one I'am doing now is the MESSY one, very colorful, I work on it out on the porch when its nice enough out because I get material lint and bits all over myself and the house, but its coming along and at this point laying somewhat flat. We can only hope.

Aunt Jenny,
Thank you so much for your kind words - I wished the picture of the whole rug would have turned out more true to color, the color you can see in the close up, it looks a little bit washed out, but at least you can see the size. What were your rugs like, were they a braid and then sewn into a rug, or did you make it like mine here, woven into itself? How large were yours and what were they made from? Thanks again.

Using those rag balls for weaving a rug, if your a weaver, might be a good idea too...

I did some with wool fabric and one with cotton fabric..they were braided and then sewn into a coil. I love how yours is..havn't done that. Mine were ...hmmm most were about 3x5' but I did one that was about 6' long..maybe 4x6'. I always ran out of colors that coordinated before they got any bigger. I don't have any of them anymore..gave them as gifts. I need to make some again though..I love the look and feel of them~!
