    Default My latest Quilt of Valor for Veterans presentation next year.

    I was so very impressed by the presentation of 25 quilts to veterans this year http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...n-t283562.html that I have already started on next year.
    Have completed my first top for the occasion. The pictures are not so good but you can see how the top turned out.

    This next picture shows the colors better.

    Thanks for looking.

    Great quilt-looks like a perfect pattern for using up scraps too :-) How many quilts do you plan on making for next year?

    Last year we did 25 quilts of valor. I would like to contribute at least 6 this year. I am going to have to locate some more patriotic scraps. Our guild pays for the quilting. We have a shop nearby that only charges $50 to quilt quilts for veterans. They usually quilt them with a stars and heart panto. These brave men have given so much to us, this is the least we can do for them.

    That's a beautiful quilt that will be cherished by a brave soldier.

    Donna, your quilt looks great. That is super that your guild pays for the quilting and that a quilt shop gives a break for these quilts. Such a worthwhile donation. Our guild also donates so I try to do 4-6 each year because of my son being deployed twice.
