Felted Sweaters Blanket

Posted by Picasa
Here is the pile of dissected, felted sweaters that I plan to make into a blanket (eventually). I'm still thinking through next steps - size of squares, how to connect them, etc. Thoughts are welcome!

Maybe you could divide the pile into lighter and darker colors, and then alternate stripes or squares to make a design. I have no idea how they should be attached. I have seen purses made of old felted sweaters with pieces attached by machine sewing and using a dense zig-zag stitch. I imagine there are better-looking options.

These are  Crazy For You socks.  They haven't told me yet exactly whom they are crazy for , but I'll let them ponder that for a while.  It appears I may have caught a bit of Knitting New England's Tangerine Tango  with all of these orangey colors!
