June One Monthly Goal

We are off work today.  The Scientist in Training heads back to college on Sunday.  Classes are all on line, but she has undergraduate research to do this summer, so she needs to head back to campus.  Only the graduate students will be around, so a much reduced presence on campus.  Her undergraduate advisor has already put in place some pretty stringent social distancing and lab cleaning procedures for the research group.  

I'm hoping to get in some time in the sewing room. Not to sew, but to clean up a bit.  It's necessary if I'm going to meet my June One Monthly Goal. 

The plan for June is to finish getting the borders on Storm at Sea.

The current plan is for one more white border and a final dark blue border.

That will make it large enough for our bed.  My Guy has been asking me to finish this one up as he's tired of struggling with the current quilt which just barely covers the mattress. You have to get it on just right or the mattress shows on one side or the other. 

The reason I need to clean up the sewing room is that I need to find the extra wide backing fabric already ordered for this quilt. That's part two of the OMG.  The plan is to have a finished flimsy with a washed, hopefully pressed, backing ready for the final preparation steps by the end of June.  The borders are definitely doable. Finding the backing is going to be a challenge!
