A quick gift Idea

Here is a quick gift idea that I whacked out today from start to
finish. I had the fabric that I was using for my series of Veterans
Quilts, that I am doing, and I power pieced the 9 patch squares and
used Harriet Hargrave 100% Wool batting cut offs that I had been
saving from some of my already completed quilts. This is a quick and
easy Scarf to put together if you need a gift for somebody who lives
in the colder parts of the country. I arranged the pattern so that the
stars in middle of each block faced upward and met in the middle at
the back of the neck. Can't have those stars falling downward on one
side now, can we? I had previously made myself a scarf with the same
batting, and I wear it all the time now instead of a Tartan Wool one I
picked up when I was in Scotland a number of years ago. This is more
comfortable, as the cotton keeps it from scratching and the wool
batting gives it a high warmth factor, and you can throw it in the
washer and clean it off now and then with no problems.

Thank you Donna. I really like the one I made for myself a couple of
months ago. It has become my go to scarf. When It gets dirty, just pop
it in the washer and dryer.

What a great idea! And this could also be a good way to use up odd
blocks, if you liked a scrappier look.

Absolutely. I love making things that are useful and use up all of the
leftovers. There is really no limit as to style.

What a great idea and a good looking scarf!! You are so talented, John!

Thanks, Donna. I think a lot of people could use a lot of leftovers
and generate some interesting scarves.
