Hope that makes sense. (I trimmed with bells for some fun)

there are supposed to be some really nice patterns in the book Quilts for Mantels and More by Susan Thompson...maybe check for it on Amazon....I haven't seen the book but I've seem some mantle scarfs/runners that were made from the patterns in it and they were all really nice.
