Its finished! After three+ days of concentrated work on the rag rug made from the Marimekko strips, the project is complete. The sampler includes log cabin, two shuttle, three shuttle, "meet and part" and "tabby". These terms describe various techniques used for rugs and are all included in this one piece which measures 109 inches. So the "rags" were the beautiful selvedges/remnants/edges which had been saved by Margaret Chesley for many years; and the fun was weaving the surprise combinations resulting from the lovely vibrant hues.
