When I was a kid, we had several braided rag rugs that my great-great-aunt had made. I remember being taken with all the colors and the bumpy texture. The Moda Bake Shop now has a tutorial for you to make a braided rag rug of your own. Get the tutorial.
Wow, great instructions. I cannot believe the photo you have posted, it almost looks like the braided rag rug I had in elementary school. Thanks for reminding me of the memory!
What a beautiful rug!
