Patriotic Rider Rug Progress!

rug design (c) sunnie andress 2007

I'm really enjoying this rug! It is turning out just the way I wanted it to...whimsical and fun!


The outside border is a good way to use up wool that is a looser weave. Since it is cut in the number 8 width (or it could be 8.5) it makes the work go fast and keeps fraying to a minimum. This particular wool is a plaid and also picks up the colour of the mushroom jacket on the rider! The upper padula flower is a plaid that is quieter than the other reds I've used so that the focus is on the center of the rug and the horse and rider!
