This easy shawl sews up quickly, just in time for upcoming breast cancer service projects in October! It features our Strip-It pattern, lined with the inspirational text print. We show it with simple quilting along the Strip-It lines - try your own embellishments, such as a pink rhinestone brooch to hold it closed at the front, or try a pink tassel to dangle at the lower corner of the center back. It's 15" width works equally well to keep shoulders cozy whether you're walking or running for the cure, or just relaxing at home in bed.

Note: Before you begin, check out Jean Ann Wright's great tips for sewing with flannel, in Creating with the Experts!

1. From each fabric, cut (2) 16" wide strips x width of fabric.
2. Pin the two Strip-It sections end to end, to form one long 16" wide strip. With right sides together, join the pieces using a 1" seam allowance. Trim seam allowance to ½", cutting away the selvedge. Press seams open.
3. Fold this piece in half along the seam. Mark a diagonal line from the top of the fold, down to 15" in from the seam as shown. Sew along this line. Trim seam about ¼" from stitching and press seam allowance flat.

4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 with the text print, being careful to line up both sides of the text to read right side up when the diagonal seam forms the shawl's V-shape.
5. With right sides together, line up the two V-shape fabrics, having raw edges even.
6. Sew around all sides of the shawl, leaving an opening of about 10" for turning. Trim seam allowances & corners; turn right side out. Press.
7. To finish, quilt lightly if desired. Add a brooch, large button, pink ribbons or other trims as desired.
