I finished the rug, sort of. I left the end undone and not a tapered finish like I would have done normally. This is because as we wear out more jeans I can make the rug bigger. So, I think this will be a continuing rug for a few years but it will be able to be used while it is growing and in between growth spurts. Boy it sounds like a kid!This took seven days from start to finish.
Dimensions 3 1/2 feet by 8 1/2 feet

That came out beautiful sunshine! You must work 22 hours a day to get all the things finished that you do!
I can't believe it only took 7 days to get that done! Wow! It's fantastic!
It is beautiful, Sunshine. You inspire me!
It looks fantastic. I really like your story.
Can you guess at how many pairs of jeans you used to get a rug this big?
about 30 give or take a few. Some are kids and some are adult the adult ones of course give you more material to work with.
Serendipity smiles... just last week I was looking at rug section in my monster bible of all crafts possible, and considered making a braided rug from thrift shop jeans. Your rug is just beautiful, so thrifty and practical. I'm starting my rug for sure!
Found this from Whip Up. The rug is great! I don't have kids, but I'm inspired to collect some old jeans from my family & friends now.
Excellent work! You've inspired me to try my hand at making one for myself. Great recycling as well:)
i love this rug! it is so great!
