I love this quilt!! And that quilting--wow! Stunning! Yea for a finish!!!
This is a beautiful finished quilt. It will definitely cheer a veteran up.
Woohoo! Great finish. Nice pattern for a QOV.
Very Nice! I love the scrap peeking at the edge of your binding~ Perfect!
Alycia~it is just fabulous, love the piecing and the quilting and your determination to finish your March goal!
I love this pattern and how bright it turned out. The pieced backing in wonderful too. Love to be able to use up the leftovers.
Great job Alycia. Some dear veteran will love to be wrapped in that beauty. Love the pattern, love the quilting!
Wow! The backing is totally an attention grabber !
I like everything about this quilt-the colors, pattern, quilting, binding and backing. I like it because it's calming for a QOV! Sometimes, patriotic quilts can be so bold. mary in Az
Congrats on a great finish! I like the pattern a lot, but I really love how you quilted it in the white space with diagonals and circles. So modern, even though it's traditional red-white-and-blue.
Brilliant - that made me laugh and congrats on a fab finish! Thanks a million for linking up with TGIFF.
What a lovely QOV! Someone will be truly comforted by your generous gift :)
Oh my gosh! I like the colors, the blocks and wow that quilting is lovely and brings it all together. Great project finish. Congrats!
Beautiful quilt, Alycia! Love the pattern and the quilting. May have to get that pattern. Whomever gets it, will love it
Local quild had their show today. They were saluting women veterans and presented QOVs to several. Very heartwarming to see.

All your brights might be just the thing to perk up someone with the gloomies. I like the way you finished that pattern. It gives the whole thing a texture that is so different from the linear pattern.
Good job.
Awesome job in the quilting!! How on earth did you accomplish that?
Nice job all around -- front, back,and the quilting!
I just love your quilt!
Oh this quilt is lovely. I so admire that you combined the QOV theme with a modern pattern. This is a hit!!!
