need ideas for a guilt pattern using these
I had to have my little Sandy put down a couple of months ago. I saved all of his bandanas and would like to make a memory quilt. They are all triangle shape and not the same size. I will cut the to the same size before I start. I am just having a hard time coming up with a pattern to use. With filler fabric I should have enough for at least a full size quilt. Sorry I cannot remember how to post a picture

You could foundation piece them. Take a foundation piece the size of the square you want it to be. Sew the scarves to the foundation in any order you like. If they are triangles, then maybe you could organize them into a square.

I'm so sorry about your Sandy...I know it's so heartbreaking to lose a fur baby.
This "layered patchwork" technique would work if you can either use a pinking blade or cut your pieces on the bias so that you get the "curling" effect along the edges. It's fun to do and makes a happy quilt with two different sizes of pinwheels.

What a great idea you have to make a remembrance of your little Sandy using the scarves! I really like Chester the Bunnies quilt as it shows off the fabrics nicely. Couldn't you just see yourself wrapped up in this and feeling the "presence" of Sandy?

Sorry to hear about your fur baby. I had to put my sweet Mary down at the beginning of the year, so I know that it is hard. I think the other cat still misses her.
'm glad you have something to remember her by. I really like the pattern that Chester posted, it will make a nice quilt using the scarves from you Sandy.
