Quilt Rug
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hello my quilting friends, I have a new project to share. I was contemplating on a nice soft rug for my quilt and doll room. I didn't like what I found and what I did like, I didn't like the price lol. Then a thought occurred to me. I make coffee mugs, dinner mats, why can't I made a quilt rug? Well come to find out, the whole web was also thinking and doing it lol.

I had this lovely piece of flannel that looked like it was hand died and it was perfect. I used a real high loft poly batting and another flannel backing. I had just got the new Bella Sedere, ( here is a pic if you want to see it.)

and thought this would be good to try on it. I did some big wavy quilting on it and as you can see it came out real puffy and just what I wanted....so make a rug for your feet. I put a piece of rug grip under it and it works just fine.
A note on this machine/ I do have a long arm Gammil. what I like about this machine, is that you can sit down and move the fabric just as if you were on your regular machine and you can do intricate stuff. I find that I have a different control and my back and hands were not stressed. I love this machine.

Great innovation ... and oh my, I love those colours!

Because I cannot find a washable mat for my bathroom, in the size and colours that I want,
I have been contemplating for quite a while now, to make one.
However, I have had a huge concern re potential slippage dangers.

Maybe you can tell me more from your experience in making this one.

Sorry, but I am not familiar with "rug grip".
Would it hold a cloth floor quilt against a vinyl floor?
Or is it for holding the cloth on top of a carpet that is already there?
Did you attach the rug grip to the quilt?
Or is it laying separately.

Or another possibility ... I have heard of a product that you "paint" on the back of a floor quilt.
Does anyone know the name of it? Product name? Brand name?
Or even better, where I might purchase it?

THANK YOU!!

Thank you SLBram17 .... now to find it here in Canada!
The visual is a big help, as it gives me product info and some company names to track down.

Has anyone used it? Does it provide a good anti-slip solution?

What a clever idea! It looks so cozy.
