Quilts of Valor - Spring 2010

We still haven't decided quite how these will go into quilts...since we have so many we will try to do more than one. :) In the meantime, I have to say, I am really pleased with the way they ALL turned out. Congratulations to all the ladies who challenged themselves while working on this challenge! And Thanks to Ruth for choosing such lovely base fabrics and challenging us. More later on this project when it is closer to completion. Enjoy.

the tale of two tops

These tops are part of the reason I joined this group. The blue strip quilted one was finished several years ago. I've had the fabric for the basketball one for a while, but I finally got down to business and finalized a design, and then sewed it in Jan./Feb., hoping to have it done for Matthew's birthday (hence the BIG pieces). I look forward to learning how to machine quilt (which I'm about to try), arrange color, and make more complicated, smaller blocks, and some day, if talent allows :), I'd like to design a really artsy quilt, with blocks instead of applique.

P.S. I tried to sign in as a separate author but was unsuccessful. I didn't see the same options as Carolyn :) Any suggestions?
