Fall is here, and now we can see and enjoy the colorful leaves, the interesting pumpkins, and the nice weather that usually stays between hot and cold.
But sometimes it gets a little too much on the cold side, and along with sweaters and socks, a scarf is needed.
But why go to the store and buy one long piece of cloth for eight bucks, when you can just make it yourself?
Introducing (drum roll in the background): the Quilt Block Scarf!
So first of all, after digging through piles of fabric scraps and selecting a fabric I liked, I laid the cloth out on the cutting mat and cut it into 5 by 5 blocks. I have helped make quilts before, and so this first step reminded me of those times. Hence, the Quilt Block Scarf.
Then, I pinned them to each other, so the bottom corners would be overlapping the next block.
Then I sewed a straight line straight down the middle of the attached 'quilt blocks'.
Then I took the side corners of the blocks, and folded them so that they overlapped each other. Next, I sewed them like that.
And there you have it: The Quilt Block Scarf. :)
