If you were as obsessed with “Smitten” making as I was, you most likely have a pile of sweater scraps that need a purpose.
How about making a soft and cozy sweater quilt?


This quilt used all cashmere and soft wool sweater scraps and a backing from a thrift store flannel sheet.

I like this idea.šø
Thank you Joy! I hope you have a chance to make one some day. Stay warm. š
I just keep thinking…how warm that would be…
It is! And super soft, too. š
Just what I have been looking for — dealing with cashmere sweaters! It’s beautiful! Did you do any felting to the sweaters before you cut them up? Now to look for something ultra soft for the backing… Thank you for sharing! pj stitches!
I am a teacher in sewing, myself and I just want to send you my compliments. You are doing a fabulous job.
So very nice of you to say, Chantalle. You brightened my day with your nice comment!!

Love it! Your family wrapped around you.
Thank you Margie! Happy New Year!!!
Your work is beautiful! How do you keep your seams from puckering? I have a lot of cashmere sweaters to make a blanket, but my seams pucker.
Thank you Anne! I hope you had a wonderful holiday. I think it’s important to not have your tension too tight and to use the right needle so it won’t pucker. I’d love to see your creation when you finish!
