Rug progress

Fleece takes a rest on the almost completed strips that have been cut from various fabric remnants.

More strips nearly ready to go

The pile still waiting to be ironed

(It might seem funny to iron pieces for a "rag rug," but it makes them much easier to work with.)

As I iron, I try to remove all the threads on the sides of the strips as well (or at least the biggest ones).

It's been a bit tedious so far, and I still don't have anything that looks like a rug.  However, the rest of the process is much more enjoyable.  Glad to have this part out of the way for a while!  I hope that soon I will have some pictures of an actual rug in progress.
