Pink and Burgundy

 Pink is the Rainbow Scrap colour of the month, so it was time to get stitching on my RSC blocks.  I found a pretty pinkish scrap laying around, just the thing to use in my baby quilt.  Quick and easy, they were done in a jiffy.

Four blocks done

Then I laid the blocks out on the floor, to see how they all looked together.  Coming along nicely, with those pretty soft colours.  I like the way the colours march down the quilt, pink, green, red and blue so far.  This will be 25 blocks, so only a few more colours needed.

The second lot of RSC blocks I'm stitching is the same design but larger, using funky dinosaur fabric, for a boy's quilt.  I didn't want to use pink, so cut some burgundy strips.  Then I laid out the blocks on my design bed, to see how they all looked together.

I like the  bright stripes against the grey

It is that time  of the year for the flu vaccinations so I booked an appointment at the chemist and went in.  No trouble at all, I hardly felt the needle, then had to sit and wait five minutes, just in case.  There were no side effects, not even a sore arm from the injection.  Flu vaccines are free here in New Zealand and the oldies are encouraged to participate, as they can often have other conditions as well.  Records show that there are over 500 deaths each year from influenza, seems quite a high number, so I'm happy to go in and get protected.
