Slow Sunday Stitching Buckeye Beauty & One Monthly Goal

Edited to add One Monthly Goal.  Original post just below.
My One Monthly Goal for June is to quilt two rows across on this quilt which will add eight inches of quilting. 

That will get me to about the middle of the quilt, at which point I'll have to decide whether to continue as I began or turn it 180 degrees and begin at the other end.  I know Baptist Fans quilted from opposite sides was common during the era of quilting bees and it sort of makes sense for this quilt but I am concerned about a shift in the layers even though they've been pin-basted.  On the other hand, fans in only one direction seem to suggest a top and bottom to a quilt.  In the whole scheme of things, it's really no big deal.

I'm linking this post to One Monthly Goal June Link-up at Elm Street Quilts.  This is the link-up that motivates and helps me stay on track with quilting that I could let linger longer than necessary.  Thank you for hosting, Patty.

This quilt doesn't really have a name, but the arrangement of colors in the block and the arrangement of blocks in the quilt make it a Buckeye Beauty.  I've also seen the block called Jacob's Ladder.

I'm using DMC size 12 perle cotton to quilt small Baptist Fans, each with four arcs an inch apart.  I usually don't mark fans when I quilt them but this time I'm using pins to mark the arcs.  It seems to work well.  It only takes a minute or two to arrange them and there are no marks to fade.  Quilting would go faster if I spent more time on it.

It has a confusion of reds, from bright to cherry to rose to burgundy, plus corals, pinks, some creamy tones, and an occasional white/off white, and one or two tans. 

I hope you have a good, restful, refreshing Sabbath.

P.S. The purpose of the dual post and links is so I wouldn't be posting the same quilt twice in a row.  It's good enough for one post but not two in a row. Haha.
