Eagle QOV - and Finished ( or not) Friday

Happy Friday to you all!!!

Today I actually feel like I am seeing things off my lists get checked off - as in complete.. Not in progress...

I like that feeling.

And I have a finish!!! 

( yep, not bound - it moves on to someone in my QOV group to bind)

A QUILT OF VALOR!!!


This is me trying to get artsy... see two of my horses there in the back?
They wouldn't look at me, no matter how many times I shook the grain bucket!


I will be honest - I was pretty sure I started this one this year...
But SURPRISE!!! I was wrong!!

I started it in November 2020!!
How did that happen?



So the String blocks came from my string bin
and the Ohio Stars came from Nann
She sent me a box a while ago and I pulled these out to play with.

( PS - don't ask how long ago - 
I will tell you last week, but based on the way I calculate time
it could have been 2010.... sigh... she still loves me tho!!)

Elegant quilt fit for a king or for a veteran!

Yes, time flies but I think I remember you making this quilt so maybe, just maybe, my memory is still intact!

It counts as a finish, because you are done with it. A very handsome quilt. Hope you have a great weekend!

Great panel for a QOV. The Ohio stars and the string blocks make perfect borders. Love the quilting motif. Perfectly fitting.

Hooray for a finish and one you don't have to bind! Too bad the horses didn't want to cooperate, but the quilt is the start of the show / photograph. :)

I think this is the coolest QOV I have seen. So striking and beautiful. Someone is going to love this!

Gosh, that is so awesome (and the artsy shot, too!!!)! Doesn't matter how old; it's timeless, as are the donated blocks. Just love this quilt! It's going to make some Veteran so proud!

Beautiful quilt even if the horses wouldn't cooperate!
