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.

Love the log cabin design and the quilting: it’s beautiful 

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.

It’s such a cold horrible morning here, that I sat down under a cosy quilt to hand sew the binding on my scrap quilt, so here it is all ready to send to Project Linus. It doesn’t look square even though it is, must have taken the photo at a slight angle.

Have you looked on ravelry? There are quite a few possibilities there.

Thanks all. The new mum lives in Ireland, so I intend to take them over when we go there later this Spring. I wouldn’t want to trust all that work to the postal services. I took the photo to send to the baby’s grandmother and just thought I’d share it.

I love knitting for new babies. These are all the things I’ve done since Christmas for a cousin’s grandchild due in the summer- a special baby which is quite a surprise first baby. I also sewed a nappy caddy and some burp cloths . They don’t know the sex of the baby, so I had to keep things neutral.
Don’t know what I’m going to do now- no more family babies in the offing.
