There is a free shawl pattern from Marcus bros, made with flannel.

Nancy's notions catalog has a wonderful Patchwork shawl more of a U shape.

But first try on that Christmas Tree skirt, It may be wonderful and work so perfectly and be your very own design

How long were the finished fleece shawls? Thx.

I think this is a great idea, a friend of mine could not find a cape pattern and used the tree skirt to make one and it was beautiful. Just think outside the box like that and you get many ideas. Your mind was working that day,

I think your asking the wrong bunch of people. We take big pieces of fabric, cut them into tiny pieces and sew them back together to make a big piece of fabric. Quilters are all crazy! Great idea! :lol:

Sound like a good idea to me. I have a lap quilt I keep on the back of my recliner to kind of wrap up in. That works but it is always sliding off and I have to keep rearranging it on my shoulders. The tree skirt would stay on much better. :lol:

Nancy's notions catalog has a wonderful Patchwork shawl more of a U shape. it would be a Christmas tree skirt with just a little shaping and the neckline is more of a U rather than a circle.

Thank you so much for this info. I went and searched, found one I thought she might like and googled that. Found another one she might like. She ended up choosing the Calypso jacket. I'll try to insert the link. It will be perfect for her. She meditates everyday and her shoulders get cold.

Make it a 'crazy quilt', of course. Silk, satin and velvet, etc.

Shoulder quilt is a very good idea.

Here is the link for the Calypso Jacket she decided on. Can't wait to try it. Might have to do a sample one first.

WOW - this is lovely. I'll have to go and look at the site. I found a jelly roll "I" really like but wasn't sure what to do with it. Now I think I know!
