Veteran's Quilt Donation

I am grateful for the service of military veterans. These two quilts will be donated to the Long Beach Veteran's Hospital.  This is part of my church quilt group annual donation. 

Not saying that I have a whole bunch of patriot fabric but all the fabric came from my fabric stash.  Goodness!  




Two and a half inch strips make an attractive combination.  This is a great quilt pattern that I will use over and over with other great fabric combinations.  I quilted this quilt with the 3's and E's pattern.






The star blocks ( a bit more difficult to cut and pieces ) is a great block to show case a fussy cut center block.  Loops and stars were used to the quilt a majority of this quilt.  I am not happy with the red border of the quilt.   As I continue to learn, mostly by mistakes, I know the I should have used red thread to quilt the big loops.  Even with all the practice on paper and other fabric the loops just aren't consistent.  Lesson Learned. 





 God bless and care for the Veteran's who have served our country.
