African hospital blanket

A longer term project at the moment is the African hospital blanket which needs to be finished in April.  I figure that I need to do 12 squares in total so if I complete 2 a week I will have the squares finished by 8th March which will give me 3 weeks to complete the backing (may not have enough to do a simple backing so may have to sew together the left overs as best as I can), bind the 3 layers together which may take 2 weeks and then attempt some sort of quilting in the final week.  If all goes to plan than this will mean that by early April my blanket will be fully finished and ready to send off – yay!


I have made a good start already as I have 4 squares finished and the cutting done for another 6 so I won’t need to do too much this weekend which is good as it is looking like a very busy weekend!
