second of two rugs on one warp

This is the second of two rag rugs I wove on this warp. I'd meant to use it as a sink rug in my own kitchen. But the colors went so well with the background colors of the mural in my granddaughter's room (her artistic parents painted it) that I decided to give it to her instead. The combination of warp colors against the stripes of rag weft resulted in a subtle color play that picks up the color theme in the mural nicely. She is willing to overlook the slightly uneven selfedge on this one. I had woven about an inch and a half of half-basket weave at either end, and originally was going to hem it. Instead I hemstiched it and left a short twisted and knotted fringe to make it a little fancier for her.
