No Special Tools or Supplies Are Required!

Turn strips of fabric into a beautiful rag rug using your hands and not much else. While you can combine strips with your sewing machine, knots work too so this is essentially a no-sew project.

Plus, it’s easy to adjust the instructions to make a rug of any size you want. Whether you prefer a small centerpiece for your table or a large throw rug you can easily adapt the size.

Choose a combination of fabrics in a pleasing color palette. Both solids and prints work well, or use some of both. This is a great project for those “ugly” prints that you haven’t known what to do with. Make your selection based on the predominant color of each fabric. Oval Swedish Rag Rug Pattern

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!




PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
