Sunflower rug mid completion

I started this rug in the middle of the summer because I had a lot of extra yellow and orange fabric. I placed bees among the flowers as a little detail and homage to my dads beekeeping.
Now that the flowers are nearly completed, I can finally start to get to work on the background soon. I'm hoping to fill in the background with a bunch of different shades of blue green and some brown. i'm trying to make this rug look like a stand of  flowers that have been left up to their own devices. I know that if you plant a bunch of different kinds of sunflowers together the colors will eventually mix, and that is what I'm trying to recreate in this piece.

fleece locker hooked and cross stiched rug


I tried to weave the fleece on the ends and it made the edges ruffly, I don't like how the rug wont stay flat so im probably going to take it apart and make a new rug from it.

making a locker hooked bag pt1

This bag is made out of the recycled
Canvas from the rug pictured below


This rug was great at first but as I began to fill in the canvas it started to lose its shape so much it wouldn't lay flat any more.
 
As you can see in the last picture the sides are all bunched up so much that the rug is totally out of wack. so I took the rug apart and recycled the fabric in to other rugs and now the canvas is going to be come this lovely bag.



I used a sewing machine to sew down the lose edges so that it would be easier to work with, I don't know if this picture shows is very well but it you look you can see some of the seems that are sewn down.
