Designing Monday
I finished up this quilt top for the guild I belong to. We make what are called Soldier Quilts to distribute through a local organization to veterans. They are not Quilts of Valor and have really only size requirements. After I get it done it goes to a guild member who adds a label to the back indicating it is a gift from our guild.
This pattern is one from the Fons and Porter magazine. I simplified the stars and reduced the dimensions to fit the size requirement I was given. I made a similar one at the retreat I went to back in Feb. I bought backing for this one today, so should be able to have it finished for next month's meeting.

Very nice job. I remember that pattern. I believe I bought that magazine. What a nice thing you are doing. I'm sure it will be appreciated.
ReplyDeleteLove this Vet quilt. I too do sewing for veterans through a group here called Sew 4 vets. We make wheel chair quilts, bibs, walker bags and small items that will be for use at the local Veteran's hospital. What many don't realize is that we have many older veterans in hospital and nursing homes too who need things. Thanks for helping out.
