more rag rug

I am almost done with the rag rug. Just need to finish the middle part, then it comes off the loom. This has been a very very fun project and I will make more when this one is done.

    how much fabric do you think it took to make this piece? How wide are the strips? how big is the completed rug?

    for the warp you need about 2 yards of fabric cut into 1.5-2 inch strips. For the weaving you need about 12-14 yards of fabric cut the same width. For the warp I dyed a white sheet pink and used that. For the weft I used about 3-4 different fabrics. I got the loom from Country Threads at a quilt show. www.countrythreads.com
