Happy Friday!!!!
One of my goals this year was to try to keep up with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I know every year I think that, and then about May I get bamboozled.... so I am trying to make it a priority!!!
My February Top was done right before the end of February - and!! I have it quilted and bound now! Everytime I sew with red - I sorta of Think Quilt of Valor - so that is what mine has become!
I had a really cool wide back in Light blue that I used for the backing. I even had enough to cut some 5 inch squares for when Blue is called!!
Last Friday ( March 29) was Vietnam War Veterans Day and my little QOV group was there!!! Deb, Vickie and I headed to a cool presentation and we got to award quilts to some awesome Veterans. It ws a great celebration
Finished!! Or not - Friday!!
Link up - visit, be inspired... make Bucket lists... enjoy!!

Your RSC QOV turned out beautifully. You've been doing a lot with all those squares.
ReplyDeleteEvery Lightning quilt that you do is my favorite - lol! The reds, whites, and dark blues look fabulous. Love seeing the vets wrapped in their quilts.
ReplyDeleteThat makes a great QOV. I recognize a lot of those reds and blues, and have them in my latest QOVs too. Those award ceremonies are such amazing events. Very rewarding for those of us who are honored to make the awards to the veterans.
ReplyDeleteThe February quilt is fantastic. I love the stripe binding to finish and that's excellent you were able to cut blue 5" squares from the backing scrap to be ready for the month blue is used!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I also think, 'How can this be used as a QOV?'.
ReplyDeleteBless your generous heart! ;^)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Wonderful quilt too.
This was a great us of the red scraps for February!!! Great job!
ReplyDeleteHurrah for the red white and blue! Great quilt for an even greater cause. And add in the beautiful quilting, and you're over the top! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is wonderful and is sure to appreciated by a Veteran. I do admire the QOV movement. Wish we had something similar in the UK - so many Veterans sadly 'fall through the net' and desperately need to have their years of service affirmed by the general public if not by those in power.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of the Vietnam War Veterans being honored with their QOV. Yes, I can see why your red and white quilt morphed into a red, white and blue QOV quilt. It looks great.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your quilt finish, Alycia, and that looks like a wonderful presentation event, too!
