I've been considered getting those FLOR squares. They are so cool and come in different patterns and weaves and colors and you can pick up a square and rinse it off if you have an "accident"...and I thought that $20 or so a square was EXPENSIVE!<br />:D - CindiCindi Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475347748831862659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-25949471545115703992011-10-27T17:11:06.670-04:002011-10-27T17:11:06.670-04:00I can't believe how popular these have become....I can't believe how popular these have become.

When we were at Brimfield this past Spring, we went to a mall in Boston, or Framingham?? anyway, they had a store there called Rugby and it was the first place I'd ever seen one of these patchwork rugs - it was STUNNING! I wish I had taken pictures of my own, cause the whole store was fab, but I did find the posting on the opening of the store here: http://www.rugby.com/blog/post/2008/07/16/The-Inside-Guide-Rugby-Natick-Opens.aspx<br /><br />You can kinda see the rug in the first picture!
