This light-weight rag rug is made of polyester fabric with cotton/polyester warp threads.  It is a lovely shade of soft blue and measures 28" x 48".

This is an example of a "Log Cabin" weave.  The checkerboard effect is achieved by the warp threads. Believe it or not, the rug is woven of a single fabric - the light and dark determined by white or black warp threads.

It is shown folded and cross wise in three table settings.  However, the table is a very old dropleaf and relatively small.  The dimensions of the rug would allow it to go lengthwise and unfolded on a dinner table.
