Need a pattern/idea for a shoulder quilt for DH
I noticed the other day that my husband took a lap quilt and folded it into a triangle and wrapped it around his shoulders. What I would like to do is make a quilt just for the shoulders/torso area.
Has any one made something like this? I tried googling shoulder quilts and did not find anything. I'm thinking either a square quilt with a slit in the center or maybe a circle quilt like a tree skirt with a wider opening and the sides long enough to go about waist level. Any ideas would be appreciated. I have a lot of flannel fat quarters in manly colors (LOL) that I can use. I would back it either in flannel or fleece. Any ideas? |
Prayer quilts are out there and they should work for this.

You could make any pattern you like and as big as you like, just cut a slit in one side up to the middle, then a circle to accomodate his neck- sort of like you would do for a tree skirt. What a good idea- my shoulders are cold in the cool weather too, maybe I will make one too.

How about this one. They use jelly rolls, but you can use the dimensions and just do a pieced top:

What do you think of this pattern? http://www.noodle.org/learn/details/...mas-tree-skirt
I wonder if he would like the tie or maybe some velcro on it. Or a couple of large buttons. What do you think? |

Maybe big blocks set on point ( good instructions at www. quiltville.com, tips and techniques), nust make enough to lay out a lage triangle, back with fleece.

I meant prayer shawl quilts.
