Carpet scraps? Or samples?

    Another thing I have had around for donkey's years.
    Am wondering if they might be samples, or just bits.

    The first measures 8.5" x 5.75", including the fringe.
    Fringe on both ends and one edge is bound, and the other may be selvage (?).

    The other measures 8" x 4.5" and you can see where it was chopped.

    Hi Messi,
    They would be great for doll houses. I have a few that I use for "mouse pads" for the PC.

    Awfully bumpy for a mouse pad!

    That first one definitely has the look of doll house décor - made from a real carpet cutting. The other one not so much. But I can't see either being a "sample."

    Looks like half, or a third, of a bagface.
