The finished size of this is 34" x 56" - I would describe it as 'controlled scrappy'.
For now I have it on the floor just inside my front door. It's kinda slippery on the tile there, so I think I'll have to get some of that non-skid rubber stuff to put underneath it.
And, there's icing on the cake! Saturday was the Utah Hook-In, and my rug received a 3rd place win in the viewers choice - I wasn't expecting that at all! I received this adorable little pillow as a prize for that and it instantly became one of my favorite treasures!
The Guild had a fun Make & Take project - we each got to choose beads and assemble a scissor fob. This is what I came up with - very fun.
I have finished my little Tucker quilt from Pam Buda's SAL and I was pleased to find that it fits the rung perfectly on this little ladder that I bought awhile ago at the thrift store - makes for a fun display.
I wrote a post for the Utah Rug & Fiber Guild blog where you can see pictures from our recent hook in HERE.

Your rug is just lovely, great pattern and colours are perfect, well done on your win, it was well deserved. That is the cutest little ladder ever, perfect for a sweet mini!
Your rug is beautiful, Gayle! (Too beautiful to place on the floor and be walked upon in my opinion, anyway.) It's well-deserving of a win, and what a sweet prize.
Your rug is gorgeous and I love your colors.

Beautiful rug. I can't believe you'd put that gorgeous thing on the floor! It would be ruined in no time here. I would display it on my table.
Congratulations, Gayle! Your rug is really beautiful -- I love both the shapes and the colours!
