St Louis Cardinals HSTs

The recipient has received this quilt so i can now show it.

I made this St Louis Cardinals couch quilt for my cousin's BFF....who was with her every day at the hospital through her surgery...and every day at her therapy. And she kept all of us informed by text and email as to what was going on.

It is 56x72 and is just right for snuggling on the couch and watching the game.

The blocks are 8". The dark half of the block is brown.

Even the binding has baseballs.

The back is a beige fabric.

Top thread is Glide Ruby and bobbin is So Fine Brown.

My longarm is making a horrid squeaking while traveling side to side. i have cleaned wheels and rails and that has not helped. i think tomorrow i will put a bit of oil on it to see if maybe things are too dry. i have oiled the machine, too. those quilting gremlins better come and fix this before i lose what sanity i have. maybe my table has gotten crooked. have to ask dh if he can check that.
