Are you all ready? After spending the weekend remembering our military, quilting some Red White and Blue Quilts, and resting up... I am totally ready to dig back in to some quilts!
These Quilts pictured are all Quilts of Valor and the person who pieced them and quilted them is listed as well. I wish I could take credit for making them all.... but no such luck. All of them are either in process to be presented to our military - or have already been presented. Sometimes my picture shows are behind.... oh well - I love the chance to see them again ( and again, and again.....)
This quilt just amazes me... it was put together by Connie and Kathy - the amazing duo from Colorado. But the star blocks are part of the 100 QOV challenge from Moda.... It was quilted by Linda B in Pueblo.
And here is a second one - again put together by Connie and Kathy - this one was quilted by Mel P in Co Springs. I LOVE the different looks the quilting gives a quilt!
This yummy plaid quilt was made by Sue T on the Wind Rose Quilt Guild in New Jersey. It was quilted by Rita A of Colorado Springs CO. Doesn't it just make you want to snuggle????
So - my new idol is Dee Dee... over Here is quite the quilter!! Check out this string star beauty....
And this one - Again from Dee Dee in TN.... I believe she both pieced and quilted these quilts!! Love Love Love that border fabric!!!
And Dee Dee made this one..... again - a total snuggle quilt right??
MMMMM - and this one!! Dee Dee again!! I think this one would make a great leader/ender quilt....
And the last quilt from Dee Dee - and the last one in my little show today - if you look at it in a different way - its a total different quilt! I LOVE it!!
Thank you quilters, for your efforts to help us cover our wounded, and those who have stood in Harm's way. You bring comfort and healing ... Thank you!
awesome quilts!!
ReplyDeleteyou go girls! Love them all, have added to my TO DO list. Love the String/Stars! cw
ReplyDeleteThey are all beautiful and definitely give me some ideas. Thanks, ladies!
ReplyDeleteOye! Why oh why can't I make dozens of quilts at once?! It's such an inspiration to see so many quilts being stitched for our military! Its gotten so I am always, always on the lookout for fabrics to add to a QOV. Had to split my big box of QOV fabrics into 2 boxes - blues and reds and they are both overflowing. Must sew faster. :) Love the plaids and the string blocks and the charming stars - just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts. So many ways to work with red, white and blue. All gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteA neat group of quilts! So fun to look at the machine quilting. Inspiring!
ReplyDeleteThe blue strings make me think of my leftovers from Orca Bay ! What a great way to use them !
ReplyDeleteAll the QOV quilts are wonderful. There are so many unique ideas for using our scraps, strings and all RWB fabrics. Love it!
