I saw this scarf online made with t-shirt material (actually old cut up t-shirts) and thought it was interesting but worried that the edges would roll so I decided to give it a try with fleece. Came out kind of cute and wild and warm.
I quickly discovered the glue stick I purchased and never used on another project was a must have. And from 1/4 yard of fabric managed 21 or 22 squares.
I actually bought two pieces of fleece.
Here is a sample as I tried various decorative stitches from my machine and discovered that this is about the only one I could get to work. Hmmm time to either get that sewing machine in to the shop or replace it. It is 40 years old and I would love a new one...
Anyway, I decided it was most helpful to glue the pieces together first before stitching.
I showed the zebra one to my granddaughter last night and told her I had cut out the polka dot and she knew exactly who would love one. And no it wasn't her although I suspect she would like one so will have to see about that.
But for now the gift making is complete with the sole exception being that afghan I am still crocheting. Will I finish in time?

These scarves came out great and very unique. You cannot buy things like this at the store, is what I love. Plus, black and white go with everything. Nice job. You never cease to amaze me at what you come up with and how everything looks so nice when you are done.
Thanks. I think the girls will enjoy these. And I have to say the gift baskets were a huge hit!
