Default Anchor

Hello Quilters, I needed to make a quilt for a U.S. Navy veteran. I had the naval fabric that I used here in the outer border but I fretted over just what to make. I finally decided to try an anchor. It’s big but not as big as the real ship’s anchor-lol- The second picture is the top when I realized a mistake and had to change out a square. The top before quilting measures 65x81 and is QOV #55 I hope she likes it!
We have been going through a stressful time with our 11 year old granddaughter’s health. We did get some good news Tuesday that no cancer or autoimmune diseases were detected. Maybe subconsciously I was lead to make this ship’s anchor for the veteran bc we have held firm to our Jesus anchor. Who knows but I will always relate this quilt to good news for Nora. Have a nice day friends-Toogie

It amazes me that you have done so many and all are different patterns. The anchor turned out great

Very nice design! Hugs and prayers for your granddaughter and entire family! Mystery illnesses in anyone are scary. Thankfully, you all have faith and that will help you get through this.

So glad there was relief on Nora's tests. Prayers her health continues to get better. Love the anchor and know the veteran will too.
