Productive distraction

I was working on Leila's quilt during the week when Ella asked me if she could have an offcut from the batting, a long scarf like piece of bamboo batting. She was wearing it as a head shawl and asking if she could keep it to use for exactly that. At this point I became distracted "would you like me to make it into a really special scarf" to which she answered "yes pleeeeease". So, with thoughts of Ella and Leslie in mind I made one for Ella the first day and one for Leila the second. The back of Ella's is an old fine wool jumper that had a hole in I couldn't fix - I didn't have a green one for Leila's so hers is just homespun on the reverse. So much fun to make, so cheery, there's one in the works for me too.
