batting for jelly roll rug
Thanks Murphy ... yes, I am familiar with the process and look, and have seen youtube videos. However, I have not seen any that have used wider strips. So if you have a link to an example or two, I'd appreciate it. My plan is for it to be in the master bath, with an appropriate anti-skid underneath.
I'm anxious to start my rug. The ones I have seen look really nice.

Just yesterday a quilting friend brought one she made to our senior sewing. It was beautiful. She did say, however, that she didn't think that it could be washed. She said that it was a lot of work. After looking at it, I would never put it on the floor to be walked on. I really don't think that it would hold up to the wear and tear.

However, shipping to Canada is never quite as friendly as it is for you receiving it within the USA,
so i will not be ordering. Thanks anyway.

The jelly roll rug holds up the same as a quilt if you use quality fabric and quality batting. I have a rug made from Robert Kauffman fabric and Quilter's Dream batting that is years old and washed many many times. Still looks great. You have to have the fabric strips relax when turning or you will have a bowl effect.

My grandmother also made beautiful hooked rugs out of old wool coats we took her from Goodwill/Salvation Army. My aunt made one 9 x 12, which she used in her living room. It sold at auction for well over $1,500.
