Quilts of Valor 2015

Good Wednesday Morning!!

It's the Weekly Quilts of Valor Show!  So.... I had some questions about what this is - so I thought I'd fill you in. I am the coordinator for QOV here in Colorado - along with my fabulous Western State coordinator Melody!  We have a grand ol' time with all these awesome quilters - Honoring our Service Veterans touched by War with a Quilt of Valor - and you all!!! These quilts are LOVED!

I know it is NOT about numbers - but this year alone Colorado has been able to honor over 200 Veterans.  And I love to show off the gorgeous quilts - so that is why I do a weekly Quilt show!!

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the beauty!!

This quilt was made from the block drive blocks that we did here on the blog
