I have a handful of grotty old tee shirts which I tell myself I will wear in winters, under sweaters and such. This winter though, I haven't really worn them , so I decided it's time to redirect them. I have plenty of rags (which I do not use nealry enough, if you know what I mean) and I have had these gorgeous scarves in my head since I saw them in the summer. James Fowler makes them out of squares of felted sweaters, and they are just amazing in person. I might try and sew these squares a bit like that, for a spring scarf for me. We will see though. I have a feeling such a project requires a lot of patience! Perhaps mine will just be three by three...
So much potential! I love this idea. His scarfs look like they are open between the squares and just tacked at each corner. It wouldn't be too hard. You've done tons of work already by getting everything cut up. I would just chain sew them through a sewing machine doing a couple of zig zags at each corner and then moving onto the next square. Make three long strips of just one square then carefully but them up to each other and do more zig zigs. Fun!

:) I might attempt to do the same thing with some of my old sweaters. Thanks for the inspiration.
