I am looking for a pattern, made with small squares of double knit material sewn to a bigger piece of fabric to make a rug.

I found instructions and pictures at the site. www.merrymicrofiberblog.com/
Hope this helps.
One inch or two inch squares folded into triangles sewn together to make a chain, approx. 100 squares to a chain ... about 20 chains sewn in an oblong circle starting in the middle of denim cut out in an oval shape.
Here are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community.
Does anyone know if you can buy the polyester squares already cut out? My mom makes rugs, but she is having a hard time cutting out the squares.
By Carolyn
I couldn't find anything on Google, but here is my ideas. I hope they help.
Find a friend, church member or younger person like a grandchild who will cut them for her. If she has a bit of time, she can advertise on Craigslist that she will make a rug for someone who will cut enough squares to make 10. Something like that. Who knows, it might lead to more business.
Good luck and please display one for us sometime? PBP
Buy your mom an Accuquilt GO! Baby cutter. It comes with the "value" set which includes a 4 1/2", 2 1/2" squares (4" and 2" finished size) and a 1 1/2" triangle shape. You can cut 6-8 squares at a time. Go! Baby cutter's best price where I bought mine was at:
quilting-warehouse.com for $74.99 which was the cheapest around. This will help your mom out tremendously.
I cut my squares using a paper cutter. You can buy them at Walmart or many other places. I bought the wooden platform kind that has the lines laying at measurements.
Does anyone have a pattern or instructions for making a rug from Fortrel squares sewn onto a denim back? I saw an example on Pinterest.
They are folded in half to make triangles and then sewn through the center to the backing.Thrifty Fun has a guide here www.thriftyfun.com/
Does anyone have a picture of these and a pattern?

I saw a post asking about making a rug out of polyester fabric squares. Did anyone ever post a pattern? I recently bought a rug and think it looks like fun to make. Thanks!
