Sea Turtle Scarf

This extra long scarf of beautiful batik fabrics gives you a glimpse into the life of the Sea Turtle. The slivers of fabrics depict underwater sea life as well as the sand where they nest. Some of the fabrics are hand dyed Indigo and each sliver is quilted with a different free motion design.

If you are interested in the life of the Sea Turtles please visit the Logger Head Marine Life Center in Juno Beach, Florida

I really enjoyed making this scarf because I was surrounded by all these beautiful fabrics and wanted them all in one project. Once quilted and washed, it came alive with all its texture and softness. It is 72 inches long and 7 inches wide. This makes for a very versatile snugly scarf.





Fold the edge of the scarf to
create a littlecollar to show
the Turtles on the other side.
It kind of takes the place of a
vest/scarf.

Another way to wear it would
be to wrap it around your
shoulders as a decorative
shawl.


Because the length, it can be used as an Obi like belt or just thrown over the shoulder.
When not in use, lay it over the table as a runner. Totally multi use scarf.
