You can rent a carpet seamer and buy some carpet tape and put them together permanently. Pretty easy to do, google directions for carper seaming. I laid my own carpet in my house just by watching online videos. Carpet seaming was pretty easy, (Although the looped carpet is much harder to make look pretty). Don't know how to bind the edges of carpet, but I bet you can look that up to, but the seaming is a definitely doable do it yourself project!

Actually, whoever you take the carpet to to get bound or serged around the edges should be able to seam the pieces together. For a short-term solution, you COULD use duct tape on the back to join the stripes together, but eventually those seams will start to fray and unravel because they aren't latexed or finished. But, a decent carpet installer or workroom will be able to seam the strips together for you for. The cost per foot should be the same as, or close to, the cost per foot to have it bound.

Oh, and you got a FABULOUS deal on that huge carpet remnant in AZ!!!

I just wanted to tell you about a website I recently came across. I don't know if you have seen it before or not, but your post reminded me of this website. http://www.flor.com It has rug squares that you can mix and match to fit to anywhere.
