Stayed home & watched television. (Jersy Joe (Ezzard Charles) Joe won). Ate supper while watching. Took care of Jerry again today. Mickey golfed till 8:00 o’clock. Bye.
Still in Kansas City. Getting to eat supper in front of the television had to have been a real treat!
Jersey Joe Walcott fought Ezzard Charles for the World Heavyweight Title in Pittsburgh. Jersey Joe won by a knockout, and the fight was dubbed the 1951 Fight of the Year by Ring Magazine. It was the first Heavyweight Title fight ever held in Pittsburgh. I’ll bet Vern wishes he could have been there to see it on television.
Option 1 (large quilt):
Today you’ll need the square-in-a-square pieced unit from your “Block 9” baggie, and the Fabric #7 squares. Lay them out as shown.
Stitch a triangle to each side of the center unit, pressing seams toward the triangles, and trimming the dog ears.
Add the remaining two triangles to the other two sides. Press seams toward the triangles, and trim the dog ears.
Store this back in the “Block 9” baggie.
Option 2 (small quilt):
Today you’ll need the square-in-a-square pieced unit from your “Block 9” baggie, and the Fabric #4 squares. Lay them out as shown.
Stitch a triangle to each side of the center unit, pressing seams toward the triangles, and trimming the dog ears.
Add the remaining two triangles to the other two sides. Press seams toward the triangles, and trim the dog ears.
Store this back in the “Block 9” baggie.
