Martina - attached are the fabrics I chose for the baseball quilt for Kennedy's brother. I bought one yard of the panel, two yards of the blue baseball theme, one yard each of the coordinates (red, brown, blue and the blue stripe) and 4 yards of the red/white stars for the backing (he likes red, correct?)
I will send out on Monday - can you PM me your addy please?

I am a little crazy, but I made my son a baseball quilt and he LOVES it!! I'm happy to help a family that needs support, so am glad I was able to contribute in this way. I can't wait to see what you whip up!!!

Also, do you have a lable for Kennedy's quilt? I haven't re-read all the messages lately.

I'll most likely hit you up for some embroidered HOPE strips as well. I may do HOPE and hearts in the border. Someone from the list had offered to do a label once we have all the contributors identified (most likely by state and country).
Thanks a bunch!

I went through my stash and found a few options for the sashing. One is a very soft green oriental with multi-colored flowers. I had my color consultant (DH) look at it and he said that it was pretty but....I agree that it is a little blendy with the hand blocks.
My second choice was a very bright pink with multi-colored dots. It really makes the hand blocks pop. Esqmommy - you were definitely on the right track! Pat's comment sealed it for me. "Honey, that one makes Hope sing!" So, sing we shall.
I'll have DH look at my camera dilemma to see if I can't post some decent close-ups.
