I have seen that tut, but didn't think about it for a quilt, just her project...interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Hi I browsed the site and have to let you know that women have been crocheting rag rugs for years. In the early 40"s I can remember my mother making "yarn" from white socks that were no longer useable as socks to make rugs from. They were the long mens socks.....

I wouldn't bother with the pinning of the points. I think if the fabric for these were starched really well and you ironed them that it wouldn't be needed. Beats needle and thread for my tired arthritic old hands. At least in theory, we will have to see how it works in real time. I used a paper circle to practice the process. As for cutting them I have a Sizzix cutter that would cut them really quickly.

I have made rag rugs out of old sheets that my MIL gave me when she moved from her home into a care facility. She made me promise not to throw them away so I had to figure out something to do with them. I tore them all into 1" strips and wound them into balls. I still have a grocery sack full of balls of strips downstairs to make into something. I have thought of using them for string quilts or finding someone else who wants to make rag rugs. I have enough to keep me for the rest of my life. Ann in Tn
