Finishing the Rug

By this time in the competition, everyone's rug looked so different that it was hard to imagine that they were the same pattern.  Amazing to see what different colors will do!

October's installment filled in the right side of the rug.  I decided to use the diagonal motif to change the colors and did dark blue on one side and light blue on the other. I also tied in one section with another already stitched and made them the same so that the motifs blended.  Can you see the one that matches the one I have stitched in October?

November's installment was a very odd shape.  I was very intrigued to see what Natalia would fill in next.

December's installment has almost finished the rug.  I decided to go with the same idea as I did in October and change the colors on either side of the diagonal motifs.

Here is the rug with January's installment finished and the fringe put on.  It was such a lot of fun to stitch and I learned a lot while doing it.  This one I spent quite a bit of time blocking it to make sure it was straight before finishing the sides.
