Thank you all,. and thanks to you for your or your loved one's service, as well.
Hubby doesn't really 'get' the whole QOV vision, but I made him the quilt anyway.
Ekuw, thanks so much for sharing your pattern notes with me!! Mine is just a shadow of your beautiful quilt. I got burned out with all the piecing so I didn't do the pretty borders you did. It will be a wall quilt. (It wants to be your quilt when it grows up!)
I tried to find Ekuw's quilt picture which inspired me... but couldn't in this new format.
