Gold is a fun but touchy accent color to use in a rag rug. When it appears in the form of a recycled t shirt, it’s often pretty close to the same color–there aren’t many shades of “gold” in t shirts. Pink and Yellow Log Cabin is the brightest rug I’ve made, and even in that, the yellow centers are only a fraction of the total area. But they sure jump out at you!
Here are some gold rugs that have found homes:
Any of these can be used as starting points for a rug made to your specifications. However, because the rugs are made from recycled tshirts (among other fabrics), they can never be exactly duplicated.
