Quilt of Valor

Recently I visited a quilt guild in my area, and they mentioned in their announcements that they were going to try and make as many Quilts if Valor, that they could.  I learned last night they made 5 in one day.  That’s awesome!!  This is one of them.   

My dad served 30 years in the military and my brother served as well, he was even deployed.  So, I love to quilt one of these a year...knowing they will go to someone who fought for our freedoms.  For those of you who aren’t sure what a quilt of valor is click here and read more about it: https://www.qovf.org/make-a-qov/

I chose to use Patricia Ritter and my Liberty quilting design, to quilt it.  I love how it turned out!!!  Liberty©️ Is available in paper, digital, self print and design boards... go here: https://www.urbanelementz.com/liberty.html

This design is a take on our Marmalade©️ design.   

I used my favorite 8020 cotton poly Winline batting and 30 tex Dyed Natural A&E Perma Core thread.  

The quilting texture looks awesome!! 

Here is a better view of this design on this backing!!   

Thank you for stopping by!!  Happy quilting!! 

I’m off to quilt something that is getting published in a magazine...excited to share, someday.
