I took a break on Saturday to spend the day making Blocks for the Quilts of Valor effort.
It was a National QOV Day and my Guild hosted a fun Sew-in. There's a QOV Blog HERE
The Guild provided a Crockpot lunch of yummy soup and rolls.
I'm glad I could attend!
Thanks to Brandi who Blogs HERE for taking some Pictures.
Jessica M is our QOV Sew-in leader. She said the goal of the day was to make a bunch of blocks to stock up for more assembly of quilts through the year.
Two ladies were assembling quilts as we stitched new ones.
Other Blocks being made were Ohio Star, Jacob's Ladder and a Chain Block.
Jessica showed them at Guild last month.
I only had time to make 12 of these blocks.
The pattern is from Quilter's Cache HERE.
I could just make it the normal way.
I brought some Red, White and Blue fabrics from home to use.
I couldn't lay my hands on any "Flag", "Star" or Patriotic fabrics
as I was hurrying to get there Saturday am.
I first though of making the blocks with the Blue as Background all around.
Opps,the White snuck in there...
A new block made.
I had a couple of my Grandson's Basketball games to watch in the afternoon.
It was nice that they were in Walla Walla this time.
His team won both games- Go Kennewick AAU team!!!
I put the 12 blocks on my Design Floor to play with them.
I'll add this coloring to my EQ7 and see what kind of sashings and border look best.
I wonder how many QOV Quilts were made for National Quilts of Valor day?
Tuesday is my Guild night, I'll take pictures of any that show up in Show & Share.
Linking up with Judy L HERE for more Design Wall Monday Postings.
