So far no jokes have been played on me... of course the kids are still at school at this point!
First up: 5th grade kids quilt Group #1 AMERICAN VALOR:
On the Quilt of Valor front - I have been quilting up a storm. Of course I am really excited about the amount of quilts that we are making and recieving to deliver.
First up: 5th grade kids quilt Group #1 AMERICAN VALOR:
This one was made by Group #1. They chose to use a flag type backing, and Debs Swirls Panto by Deb Geissler. I really like this panto as well.
So now it is off to the teachers to bind. I am so glad they like this part... I dropped off 3 quilt to bind yesterday and the *Smiled* I just love that!!
NEXT: is called Star of Bravery.
It was made with 4 patches in the center and lots of Logs around it. When we were practicing sewing we made lots of 4 patches and I just couldn't see them go to waste... so voila - this quilt was created. It was also quilted with Debs Swirls and is going to be bound! Because it was a group effort we put a picture of the whole class on our label. That ought to make a soldier smile.
And the very last quilt quilted and ready to blog about is Paulas BQ... of course I quilted it in Red and forgot to take a picture... so the original can be found here: http://alyciaquilts.blogspot.com/2008/03/paula-quilters-qovs.html
Well - thank you for reading this far - I think I might have gotten a little windy... just like the weather we have been having..
Have a great one!!

the QOV are just awesome! It's so wonderful that you are doing this with kids to help them appreciate what our soldiers are doing.
Colordo wind huh? I remember that from our visits. When it gets REALLY windy here we say that we got some Colorado wind.
