    beautiful quilts ... love your idea of having the 4 quilts as one for the longarmer to quilt. So clever! Thank you for your great work in honoring our veterans.

    Those Vets so deserve them plus so much more. Thank you for those ladies that do quilts of Valor. You've done a beautiful job!

    That is beautiful. Here is one I made for a soldier a long time ago. When I retire (if ever) I would like to start making them for Quilts of Valor. Love our military.

    Love your idea for quilting 4 lap quilts at once! And thank you for honoring our veterans. There aren't many WWII vets left-- fewer every year, it seems. The last of the native "Wind Talkers" has died, too. Such great men-- truly the greatest generation!

    I used to do just what you said with baby quilts, when I sent them out for panto quilting. 4 baby tops made a double/queen size top, so very easy to have them quilted.

    What an unusual solution to making many quilts at once. You are doing a beautiful thing by making these quilts, as our veterans deserve to be honored.

    That's a great idea! I have 2 QOV right now, but they are different shapes. One is from QOV and one is a round robin that I am donating. I will have to try that later.

    Sew clever of you, great that you are doing this for our wonderful vets!! Sadly my father passed away before he could take the flight. He would have dearly loved to have taken that flight!!!!
