TRUE CONFESSIONS

Gee, I can remember seeing a magazine by that name on the rack when a teen.  Never purchased or read one....wonder if it still exists?  But this isn't about a magazine, it is about my finally bound rug "Star Geometric".

 As a reminder, I posted a photo on hating to bind as to how I would bind this rug.  Click that link above for a review.

 Here is the front of the finally bound Star Geo.
Below is the back of the rug.  After whipping the bottom edge (which only shows under the rug) I was bored silly and changed horses mid stream.  Decided it would get bound a lot faster if I just did the very outer edge of the cotton rug tape and edge of foundation with the wool yarn.  

 Yes two different styles of binding but I'm not entering a contest or qualifying for a magazine (unless it was True Confessions), and the rug will live with me.
This is a photo of the original antique from which this was adapted.  I drew my pattern to measure 29 x 32.5.
Enjoy your weekend.

    I actually like the rug tape on rugs that are being used. You don't see it and it seems to add a little more durability to the "outskirts" which is where they wear out the fastest. Of course I'm probably hard on rugs.

    In years to come, someone will wonder just why you bound it like that and come up with a long list of reasons!
