QUILTED SCARF


My daughter asked if I would make her a scarf from the fabric she chose (Restoration by CP designs for Studio e fabrics) while visiting us a few months ago (they were supposed to be for a purse but she decided she really wanted a scarf). So I went back to the fabric store and chose this pretty textured blue Minkee fabric to go with the others she had picked out. I'd never worked with Minkee before, but I love how it feels and looks (the second pic shows how it matches the blue in the print fabric and you can see that I only quilted around the print fabrics and not the Minkee since I love how 'poofy' it looks on its own).  I didn't follow a pattern for this....just 'winged' it... and I'm so happy how it turned out!! The finished size is approximately 80" long by 4" wide.  I'll send it to her after I make a little something extra to go with it...perhaps a small purse :o)
