The Versatile and Vervy Half-Moon Quilted Scarf

November 13, 2010 by Michele

This isn’t just a scarf.
Oh it’s a scarf, that’s true.
But it is also a fabric-batting-binding-yarny-utterly-stash-busted-scrappy scarf. It is a free-motion-machine-slash-hand-quilted-hand-appliquéed-and-couched scarf.

This scarf is a soft and sweet lovey. Roll it up, it’s a cozy muff for your cold cold hands. Could it be a wall-hanging, you ask? Very astute of you, I reply.

In a pinch, it’s a stream-lined yoga mat. Or a multi-mug mug rug. Tie it around your head and your husband’s gypsy fantasies come true.
Don’t have a wrist cuff? Oh yes you do.

This scarf is a table runner. Wear it out dancing ’cause it’s a sash baby! With this scarf, you’re Queen Nefertiti for a day.
This isn’t just a scarf.
Or is it?
Click here for the printable pattern and directions, and make one for YOU!
Now go have yourself and great day, will you?
P.S. A reminder… The Great Tissue Box Challenge is on until November 24th, check it out HERE!!!
