Cross scarf, inspired by Bettyninja's.
Loosely following Betty's how-to, I rotary cut my fabric without a ruler. Fabrics include flannel, linen and recycled white cotton gauze which provide a lot of texture. The pink plaid lining is a recycled skirt. It's hand-quilted in the spirit of Project Improv, too - without a plan and random. Just wanted to see how it would turn out. It's funky and I like it ok. My husband does not.
Scrappy quilt, wip.
I made the four 8" blocks on the top earlier in the week without a plan for their use. I decided to frame them in some muslin scraps and will probably use it in a pieced backing for the Spiderweb Quilt I've been itching to replicate. I'm using a modified version of quiltville's instructions, but with large and small spiderwebs (like the background on her web page) pieced on a white foundation fabric. I think there are stringy scraps from every 2008 project in this one 15" block.

I made the mistake of clicking on the Quiltville link you gave.
OMG!! Who knew? All of the patterns and quilts and the TIME she must devote to it all....
About an hour and a half later, I'm back. (Lucky it's still holidays!) I've been inspired by the strings basketweave quilt. I'm eying off all of the scraps in my stash.
Loving everything on this post!! I adore the hand stitching on the scarf- so cute. Also the scrappy quilt looks fabulous. I have had the spiderweb quilt on my to do list too. I really like yours.

I would love to see a tutorial on how you did your spiderweb. I think I'm catching on - but I really want to do this quilt the easiest way and your appears to be the easiest. Any help you can give me would be great!!!
