Quilts of Valor

 

I had the privilege of meeting two amazing Veterans on Saturday!!!

One is a Marine who served during Vietnam - take a moment and google Operation Buffalo . This veteran was a part of the 1st battalion , 9th Marines .

The other served during Korea, in the Army and is the sweetest soul ever .

The quilt on the left (in the top left photo ) went to the Weld County Fair and won Champion in its class . I told him it was a champion quilt for a champion of a man .

The quilt on the right ( in the top left photo ) is called "stars like spaghetti " and was a mystery quilt made by Sandi H ... ( and designed by me )

I told him the story - and said if he got hungry while using it - it wasn't my fault

Such an honor to award Quilts of Valor to these amazing Veterans .

Sunday found us at our Quilt of Valor sew day - I have a LOT of photos to share - but!!

Check out the blocks we made!!!

This is the leader/ender project from Bonnie at Quiltville = and we used 2 1/2 inch strips!

I do have to tell you though - I cut enough strips for 80 blocks.... and somehow came home with 95....

Magic???? Hmmmmm
