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 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 faultSuch 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
Find me at all these places:

Wonderful that you could share QOV with those veterans. The leader/ender blocks make a great QOV top. I will have to remember that.
Love your QOV presentations! You always come up with funny; quirky comments; makes the presentations more relaxed!
What a great Saturday wrapping! Your leader ender project looks great! Our small group plans to exchange two inch strips. .. pink and yellow ones to make one . . .more like Bonnie's.
Those sweet gentlemen are our heroes. The Vietnam vet is very lucky to have survived Operation Buffalo. Beautiful quilts!
If it's magic, it's the kind of magic I suspect happens with scraps while I'm sleeping, hahaha!
