Each piece is lovely. My favorite is the Iris picture. Your rug is gorgeous but I could never allow anyone to walk on something so beautiful.

These are all gorgeous. Just don't think I could step on that beautiful rug though. Irises are really special.

Wonderful coordinated ensemble for your home. Each of your pieces is beautiful.
I really like your quilting patterns on the rug for the foyer. I also would have a problem walking on it-it is so pretty! I would like to know more about the batting you used in the rug.

The first rugs that I did, I used towels (saw it on the web), which are too thick. I use 72" wide poly felt (made from recycled plastic bottles and available in a host of colors) for the batting (white) and backing (color). It's firmer than using regular batting and about the same thickness as a regular quilt sandwich. I now use the felt for wallhangings.
