Starting Another Rug

I'm starting a new mostly unplanned rug

if you'd like to hook a long with me

these rugs from Pinterest

are all border ideas

you are in no way limited to these borders...

my rug will be large 

because that's the piece of linen I want to use up

from my 

"I'm never going to hook this pattern" stash

I'll use as many of the worms from my stash as possible

I'll cut more as needed

I've chosen a color palette

as in...no orange 

 

my "plan" is for a flag rug

with a busy border

I'll be doing an American flag

you can choose your own

 

I like asymmetrical rugs

so my borders will all be different

probably

see where I'm going?

loose plans

if this rug inspired me 

I'd just replace the elephant with a flag

maybe stay neutral

maybe use color

 

 

a couple more no brainers

replace basket or dog with a flag 

I'd put pennies in the corners 

very simple

 these two are my biggest inspirations...

both color and design

*****

so that's how I start planning an unplanned rug

I'm beginning in the left upper corner

will share photos as I go

other ideas will be shared in
