Headstart Quilting...

 After assembling all my teaching materials for today's class, I decided to

choose fabrics that I'll use to make a boy's Headstart quilt. I'll donate it at

  our guild meeting next Tuesday night. I chose a baseball theme, and I have

 plenty of time for assembly, quilting and binding between now and then.

 Our size requirement for the Headstart quilts is a finished quilt measuring

at least 36" x 42". It can be slightly larger, but once chosen, the quilts are

stored in cubby holes between uses by the kidlets, so they can't be too big.

I'll assemble this one just like the "girly" top I've already made.

 What little girl wouldn't love the flowers with sweet birds and 

bright colors? The main fabric was used to make pj pants for

one of my nieces last Christmas. I only needed a 5" wide strip

the width of the fabric (42-44"), so I had plenty left over for this.

 The boy's quilt will also be 8 blocks wide by 9 blocks long. (4 1/2" finished blocks equals 36" wide by 40 1/2".) I'll add a  1 1/2" border all around to make a finished 38" x 42 1/2" top.)
I'll put the boy's quilt top together after I get home from  teaching today. I'll show you the quilts again after I get them put together and bound. I'll have them finished before Sunday.
Off to get my latte' before heading off to class. Gotta run!
