Changing colours

Before I started the rag rug, I could have sworn I had enough of each colour to finish it. The answer to that would be a no!

Top 1/6th and bottom 1/6th had green in, I then began the next two portions only to find just a bit of green left and far too short to be of any use. Ah well, nothing for it but to change colour, which would have meant a trip to a local charity shop.

DB however, remembered he had seen some blue material up in the loft and brought it down. It was a little darker than I would have wanted but once it weaves it way throughout the rest of the rug, I think it will be okay.

I have also remembered that every time I change ends, to re-jig my rolls of fabric to stop definate pattern formation. Anyway, here with the new colour plus another 10 strips of each colour wound onto cardboard tubes:

    1. So do I. I am toying with the idea of sewing together the last bits of green, somewhere near the middle so it all blends in!

    1. Thank you from both of us! Only problem now is I have a slight RSI injury in my wrist so can't do much more until it eases off:(
