Charity Quilts sale to benefit our Veterans
 
1 Attachment(s)
Our Guild holds a biennial show on the odd years and this past February in the show, we had a charity quilt sale to benefit our Veterans..... The quilt, hangings, table toppers, etc......had to be red, white & blue to honor our Vets. It was a huge success.
Here is my donation....it is all paper pieced and I loved doing it. We had 51 quilts donated and we sold all but a very few and these few were also donated to the Veterans for their use.

Glad you sold most of the quilts, such a great idea to honor our vets. Like the eagle.

Beautiful. What a wonderful thing for your group to do. This country doesn't do nearly enough for our troops.

Nice quilt.

It is gorgeous.

mjsylvstr 04-17-2017 03:23 AM

I have been searching for the name since you first asked but cannot find it. Once finished with the making of the quilt, I put it away and can't, for the life of me, find it now.......One day !!!!!
I do know that it was a pattern in an old copy of a FOUNDATION PIECER book, pattern called "Patriotic ______".
The book was written by LIZ SCHWARTZ & STEPHEN SEIFERT.

cwcquilters: I just sent what info I could remember to QuiltnNan.....it is probably right about this post.........

cwcquilters 04-17-2017 04:21 PM

Thanks I will try to do some searching and hopefully will find it. I make patriotic quilts for Vets and for the NRA. This is a perfect size from the photo and for the way I would like to use it.

NZquilter 04-17-2017 05:31 PM

Stunning! My DH would love to have me make him one. You did perfect piecing!

Dee G 04-17-2017 06:20 PM
