Marsha's Log: Baby Blanket is Done

Tweet

I have been wanting to try making one of these rag quilts for some time now. I had some flannel put back in my room. I bought a bag of flannel scraps at the Mennonite sale for $3. I thought it was about time for me to get it all out, start cutting and making. I had this pale green and the blue striped flannel in big enough pieces to make a nice baby blanket for my oldest daughter who is due in September. They go together easy, even the trimming without the special scissors they suggest using. I did learn just why you do the cutting of the edges as you go. The last 3 rows I did without doing that. It made it really hard to cup that edge at the seams. Now I have 3 more larger pieces of flannel to press and cut before I work on another one this size and then one made with 10 inch squares. This one is made with 7 inch squares.
