An RSC finish and a flimsy and a striped blanket!

 A reasonably productive week .

I finished my RSC hospital baby cot quilt. Measures 24” as required by the hospital.

For the backing I used a piece from another new fabric I bought for my stash, a bright pink striped one. And found a scrap of pale pink solid which was enough for the binding.

I looked at my pile of RSC 49 patch blocks ( made from 1.5” squares) and found I had 15 so I made an extra block and used sashing cut  at 1.75” in different coloured solids to frame them.

Here’s the resulting flimsy:

At present this measures 32” square but I’m going to add a double border. The inner one cut at 2.5” from a deep pink solid and then an outer border from the striped fabric I used as backing for the cot quilt. I’ll probably use that for the backing too.

I finished knitting another striped baby blanket. I was using up odds and ends and a few 25gm balls I bought at the Charity shop. Of course I ran out of the yellow and purple and had to go to the knitting and sewing shop in town to buy another ball of each colour. So now I can knit a purple and a yellow cardigan with the remaining yarn

It measure 26” x 25” so useful for the pushchair.

Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be able to cut and sew the two borders for the 49 patch flimsy.
