Piecing With 100% Wool
 

I have a lot of wool scraps from old blankets that I would like to somehow work together into a small, quilt top for a pillow. The blankets are thick, so I don't think that sewing them together with thread will work. I've thought of darning them. (See my post on darning here: https://www.quiltingboard.com/genera...t313674-2.html) Perhaps felting them together might work better. Any good ideas out there?

How about decorative embroidery stitches to join them, kind of like a crazy quilt?

My granny used to cut squares or rectangles from wool blankets or men's shirts and crochet them together for throws, pillows, etc.

OMG...those are so beautiful! So sweet and feminine! However, my dogs would trash those in only a day. I need something tough and durable.

My Mom used to use a very small metal crochet hook (could wiggle through the wool weave) with sock yarn, just a single crochet around the square and then joined with a slip stitch. They were very utility looking, most of the wool was plain grey (in my memory) and she used up bits of whatever sock yarn was left over.
