My First Rag Rug

I have many photos on my computer which I think have not made their way to blog posts. This is one of them:

First Rag Rug

This is my first rag rug. I've made five now (one oval, three round, and one rectangular) and I do believe I prefer to make round ones. This one is in my master bathroom. There are four color changes. The two shades of oatmeal in the center were boys' cotton pants. The blue is navy with white stars. It was a sundress I made a few years ago for D. She literally wore the dress to shreds, so I figured it was better to cut it up into a rag rug than to just throw it away. The outer row is two of S's old white sheets.

At the top, you can see I made a mistake. I know better now and could easily go back and fix it, but I won't. A mistake can be humbling and esteem-building - all in one. Let us always work towards better things, but never forget where we started from.
