I hope you are ready!! We make such awesome progress when we all get involved with making Quilts of Valor!! And I love that there are so many ways that a person can be involved....
One of my personal goals this year was to work through my 2 1/2 inch strips.... so this years block is based on 2 1/2 inch strips.... are you ready???
Here is the block:
Color way Number 1:
Color Way #2
Color Way #3
I had three different color ways because.... I kept finding more 2 1/2 inch strips!!! It was actually a blast!
UPDATED : Patterns for Zig Zag Rails and Don't Fence me In can now be found in my Etsy Store

Those are COOL! And I like the designs. I'll definitely try to make some (but I gotta get ready for church right now!! LOL).
Best wishes with your drive Alycia! You know I am probably in! LOL
That's a fun and versatile block.
Nice easy block! Great prizes! Too bad all my fabrics are packed to move 600 miles next week. Maybe once I get there...
Hugs
Glad to participate! My "quilty" resolution was to make 2 QOV quilts from start to finish. I am at 0% completed, but there is still have 2 months to go. I hope this will get me motivated.
i'm in! As soon as I get my fabric unpacked! LOL!
One block finished and lots of strip sets started. These are fun to do and look great.
