A scarf, shawl or pillow ?

 Worked on this during our trip to NOLA...
used the join as you go method spurned on by Cogaroo.
So now the question is:
What should I make?
A shawl would be nice,

 or a scarf if these two strips were joined,
or a pillow for the Kosestua.

The pillow might win because I can use this:
You know that $1.99 IKEA pillow I like to brag about?
Well...now they have this $1.49 pillow...
just when I thought it could not get any better!
Furthermore, I think I only have enough yarn to finish the pillow, 
even though I thought the shawl would have been super cool.

Completed pillow post to come.

Hope you all are having a good week so far!!!

    Ooh, thanks for linking to me :) I really like how the pillow shows from underneath the roses. And you really can't beat that price! If only we lived close to an Ikea, I have two pillows in need of pillow forms!

    This is SO beautiful! It would definitely have been a difficult choice because the blue is so incredible and the yarn looks so soft!

    It does make a lovely pillow ... I can picture a little red or bright pink in the border ... or just cool blue and white. Will look forward to the finished creation. :)
