In reply to the discussion: It's DONE!! [View all]2naSalit

I grew up with them too. I was shown how to make them when I was a kid so the idea for braided rug came quickly when I realized I needed to do something with them. I had to acquire two of the green blankets but only had to buy the last one cheap. I have enough for another.smaller one of other colors but I have to dye one of the blankets as it's a hideous green that goes with nothing other than a bunch of other shades of green in a menagerie sort of arrangement.
My next braiding adventure is to finish off some throw pillows made from old jeans.
