The Start Of A Jellyroll Rug

I cut my own fabric strips and batting. Jellyrolls and pre-cut batting are too expensive for my Canadian budget. If I purchased the supplies, a rug would add up to $94.97+ tax- EEK! By cutting my own, I can make a rug for very little cost. It took several hours to add the batting to the fabric strip, then fold and sew the edge. Now I'm starting to zigzag. I hope it'll look ok when it's finished. I used some odds and ends, including some Christmas fabric.
