* A few things that I learned with this yellow and grey rug, is that when you are using cotton sheets of different weights and different fibre content, such as cotton/ polyester, it would be better to intermingle the strips so that when you wash the carpet, it will fell more evenly. There was one yellow sheet (all cotton), but thicker and higher thread count and it did not shrink in width as much as the other yellow (cotton/poly) sheet did. I would probably do a strip of each alternately the next time and see how that worked.
* Any ideas out there would be greatly appreciated.
