Here we are, it's June! Time to set another goal. This One Monthly Goal Challenge has been so fun and has really helped me stay on track. Thanks Patty for doing all the work that it takes to make this challenge happen.
I decided last week that my brother, the older of the two, deserves a quilt. My baby brother got one a few years ago when he lost his life partner. Last October my sister’s husband passed away. I wanted to make her a comfort quilt. Then she was diagnosed with lung cancer in January! So I got busy on that one. It was delivered to her on March 30th.
I received a 2 yard piece of the baseball fabric in a tote of fabric that nobody wanted!
It spoke to me. My brother is a Little League Umpire, and last December he had a heart attack. He is doing well, phenomenally so. He plans to go back to umpiring this summer, I decided I needed to commemorate that milestone. The solid blue was also in that tote. I searched locally for the other 3 fabrics to make a 5 yard quilt. It's my favorite pattern to use, when there is a special feature fabric.
I could not find what I wanted. So I searched the internet. I found baseball themed fabric! I hope they coordinate well! The order will arrive on Saturday the 9th. In the mean time I will get all the 9 1/2" squares cut and bordered with the blue.
My JUNE OMG is to get all the blocks (30) done and put together in a flimsy! That includes the borders. There are two! The quilt finishes at approx 64X76. I don't know who designed this pattern. The copy I have was found on the internet, years ago.
I think I can get that done!
