Quilt of Valor

This is a pattern made by Karen. I hadn't a clue at first how to quilt this... I was happy with the result, though. I especially liked the significance of the small purple border Karen included on this Quilt of Valor.

Quilts of Valor

I've had the privilege to quilt a few tops for members of the military who have been injured in the Iraqi war. I feel it an honor and hope the recipient knows the gratitude and prayers that go with the quilt.




Same pattern, different fabrics for these two quilt tops.

EBay quilt top

This was a $30 top that I purchased from EBay. It was made in India and is a small queen size. I used Quilter's Dream cotton batting and a large muslin backing. I decided to start quilting and not stop until I was finished! Now I've got a great quilt that can be used for anything, with very little time or $$ invested.

Vintage quilt blocks

These blocks are probably 100 years old. The owner rescued them from an attic and eventually made thre quilts, using additional Civil War reproduction fabrics. The tops are beautifully made. The quilting patterns are of that era. The first top is quilted in a baptist fan pattern; the second in a clam shell pattern. The border is feathered with hearts because it was a Mother's Day Gift.
