Piecing with Pink flimsy

 I cut some of my pink scraps and chunks into 4.5” squares and alternated them with some of my more “girly” Crumb blocks, making columns which I sewed into pairs, alternating with 2” strips of a pink fabric which has a pattern of little white snails. It measures 40” square and will eventually be donated as a Linus Project quilt. I have enough of the snail fabric for the backing and binding.

I’ve also been making some pink RSC blocks, Bear Paws with a 4.5” “pad” and some with a 3.5” “pad”. 

The first one I made the HSTs incorrectly so, rather than waste them I made a Bear Paw block with a 4” pad. It can go with my orphan blocks!

I had enough strings to make 7 x 5.5” String blocks.

Another RSC 2021 finish!

 I finished another RSC 2021 quilt, using string blocks I made over a couple of RSC years. I created a flimsy a little while ago but now it’s a finished quilt which will eventually be donated to the Linus Project ( when I have a few quilts gathered together).

It measures 42” square and is machine quilted.

Some close ups of blocks:

Colours are much brighter, we had switched the electric lights on by the time I took the photos.

I bought 3 metres of a lovely backing fabric a little while ago online in a closing down sale and used some for this quilt. I love it.

I knitted another baby cardigan and matching hat:

And knitted three teddy bears from wool scraps:

This evening I parcelled up all my knitted baby things ready to post to trainee midwife Evie tomorrow. They will be gifted to new babies born in the two Maternity Units in London where Evie works.
