More Silk Scarves
The third quilt made from silk scarves is quilted* ...
Another use that I've found for beautiful silk scarves is to employ them as covers for my sewing machines between uses. Right now I'm using two floral ones. I may switch them out next fall.
For more ideas of ways to utilize scarves go to this post, "Scarves Aren't Made For Just "Around Your Neck" at this link.

Ah,always welcome inspiration for new projects -- even though I'm up to my neck in projects. I DO wear silk scarves a lot but also collect them and have many that are out of style but still too nice to toss. Yes, I might use a silk scarf as a sewing machine cover -- and maybe a printer cover also. Thanks for the post and the link.
Nellie, your studio is a delicious cacophony of color! I LOVE IT!
I wear scarves a lot but I love what you do with them. You enhance their beauty by making them into quilts.

I have to amend that statement, "Personally, I rarely wear scarves..."
Since I've chosen not to reconstruct after my double mastectomy last August, scarves have become a major accessory to my wardrobe. Some that were in my sewing stash are now hanging in my closet.
Also, the scarf covering the machine on the left has since become the center piece of a quilt for a friend.
