Very cheerful.

Wow, that's really colourful, well done.

Thanks for the comments . I now have the fleece backing for my second scrappy quilt. Yesterday I had a bit of a tidy up and found a bag of flannel scraps left over from making burp cloths, so I quickly ran up a simple baby quilt, which I might put in my Project Linus bag if I get it finished quickly enough. Here it is so far.

Looking good @Sheilago what size do you make your Linus quilts?

[Pearl]

There are so many beautiful quilts on this thread 

[Sheilago]

I usually make them between 36” and 40” square @Lowena . The flannel one is just 25” square, but apparently they do use smaller ones for babies.

Lovely 🥰

The strips are joined and the FMQ squiggles are done.   Not perfect but it will do.

Theoretical size 90" x 68".  Actual size 92" x 68" 

It is scrappy and wonky! and the wadding is a patchwork in its own right but I have used up scraps and bought nothing specifically for this project.

Just the binding to do now.  I'm thinking pink but will be hard pressed to find enough pink scraps now.

It's fabulous, @BrendaP

Amazing @BrendaP , what a lovely use of scraps. What do you plan to do with it when it’s finished?

Lovely @BrendaP

Thank you for the nice comments.

Amazing @BrendaP , what a lovely use of scraps. What do you plan to do with it when it’s finished?

It's big enough for a single bed so might get an occasional use.  THe main purpose was to get the sewing mojo back and to use up some scraps.

Brilliant, so colourful.

Here’s my finished scrap flannel quilt. It has cotton wadding and is backed with fleece that I bought as a remnant on EBay. I still have lots of it left, though I’ll back the other scrappy quilt with it too.The narwhals turned out to be bigger than expected, but it’s fine as a backing. It’s a lovely soft cosy quilt to the touch. I was tempted to keep it, but what would I do with it?

The 2 scrap quilts I’ve finished will be off to the post office and Project Linus later with another one I made last year, but don’t really love.
