ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteCongrats 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.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant - that made me laugh and congrats on a fab finish! Thanks a million for linking up with TGIFF.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely QOV! Someone will be truly comforted by your generous gift :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I like the colors, the blocks and wow that quilting is lovely and brings it all together. Great project finish. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt, Alycia! Love the pattern and the quilting. May have to get that pattern. Whomever gets it, will love it
ReplyDeleteLocal 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.
ReplyDeleteGood job.
Awesome job in the quilting!! How on earth did you accomplish that?
ReplyDeleteNice job all around -- front, back,and the quilting!
ReplyDeleteI just love your quilt!
ReplyDeleteOh this quilt is lovely. I so admire that you combined the QOV theme with a modern pattern. This is a hit!!!
