Perhaps the discoloration is just from natural aging........covered stays original, exposed changes due to age, wear, light exposure, cleaning, whatever .......just a guess........I would put that lovely quilt on the back if one of the sofas and keep searching for an acceptable area rug.....just me.

Just perfect! Thank you so much for your post. I have been looking for "just the right rug" for my entry hall for a LONG time. It would seldom be walked on as around this house everyone goes to the back door for entry. I love the way you layered yours...it gives the perfect accent to the quilt. Great job!

Great idea! Your rug looks terrific! You've given me inspiration to try one myself. It's going on the bucket list.
I don't see the, "under rug," in the picture. Personally, if it were me...I would not use one of those waffle weave rug pads. I had one for a regular rug and it was always a mess...scrunching up, folding over, peeking out from under the rug, crumbling, tearing, etc. I finally threw it out. I don't even think that it helped keep the rug from slipping that much. If your quilt-rug isn't getting hard wear and it's not in a high traffic area, then I'd just let it go bare underneath.
