    Default 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.

    Sorry about your beloved Sandy.
    I was given a bunch of triangles and used this pattern.
    You could cut your triangles in half and add some if you don't have enough.

    So sorry about your loss. It is like losing a member of your family. I still wear my baby's kerchiefs when I am having a really bad hair day. Keeps me close to him.

    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?

    CAss62, that pinwheel pattern is adorable. Thanks for the link. And Chester, that's a neat quilt! I'm sure timepasser will be able to find something great from these suggestions.

    I love your quilt. Could you share the name of the pattern so I could find it.

    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.
