Rug hooking on my room sized rug has gone fairly easy so far, but I did my home work before I started. I knew how the motifs hooked up and how all the wools worked together by doing several “study” pieces.
I am not satisfied with how the vine wraps over the center support. I will change it later if it still bothers me.
I designed a stair riser, Queen Anne Rose, with some of the motifs that I wanted to use.

Next I hooked a footstool, Square Pocketful, using more of this same color scheme.

Karen Kahle’s pattern, Antique Rose Runner, used lots of hit and miss, again in the same colors.

Next came another stair riser, Annie’s Scrolls.

Finally, I designed a companion footstool, Annie’s Flower Power, experimenting with shapes and using the same color scheme.

I hit the wrong button a minute ago. Would you mind telling me what size cuts you used on your room-sized rug? Thanks.
Cut sizes vary. I have some 8.5, 8 but mostly 7, my favorite cut size. The queen ann’s lace is smaller, usually a #4 cut to keep it delicate. The hit and miss is whatever is in my scrap bin. They vary anywhere from 3 to 9.
