At Last

 My new rug baby is born! 
~*~
It was touch and go whether I'd be able to keep my promise and have her ready for Mom by the end of February.  I finished in plenty of time, though- at 11:59 am February 28th.

 It is so hard to capture her size and beauty in pictures.  She is six feet long and two and a half feet wide.  That's 72" long and 30" wide!  For you European people, that's 182.88 cm long and 76.2 cm wide.  (For the record, I *do* realize all the numbers are overkill, but hey, this baby is huge!)

And look what we have way down on her little end... my new sosorosey cotton twill sew-on rug tags.  I LOVE them!  I purchased them from Michelle at inkedpapers.etsy.com.  Here's a LINK to the ones I bought.

So now you know when she was born, and how long she is.  Who would like to venture a guess as to how many different fabrics were used in this rug?  Or how much she weighs?  I'll impart those stats in the comments tomorrow for anyone interested.

Gosh, what in the world will I work on tonight?
