Crochet Rag Rug: In Progress pt 2

My rag rug is progressing along quite nicely.  It's about the size of a large placemat now.  (I actually haven't worked on it since Saturday though).

I did run out of scrap jelly roll strips and had to tear strips of other color-appropriate fabrics.  I rolled them into a giant rag ball.

We also put our little tree up.  It makes the living room so festive...

In the lower corner you might spot another new winter project emerging... 3.5" squares of vintage feedsack cloth and reproduction 30s prints.  A quilt?  A throw?

I'm not sure, but I have this lovely book for inspiration:

And these two projects from inside its pages are my favorites I think...

 

Although this lovely scrappy quilt from Flickr user Kelli is really tempting too:

Cold weather always brings out the quilter in me...
