Quilt of Valor Finished

I am happy to say that I have finished this quilt for the Cotton Stitchers club.  It will be donated to Quilts of Valor.

My original blocks, mentioned in my previous post, were made from scraps.

However, I had to cut into yardage to make enough blocks to finish the top.  I made some more crazy disappearing nine patch blocks and some friendship star blocks, including two reverse star blocks.

The backing and binding were donated by Daines Cotton Shop.  I donated the batting and thread.  I quilted it simply with loops and stars on the Bernina Q24.

Here are close-ups of some of the other blocks that were donated.

The backing was extra wide, so I didn't have to piece it.

It was a great group project, and I hope to make another with my Cotton Stitchers club sometime.  While we have had some service days before, this was our first pieced and quilted quilt.

Quilt of Valor in Progress

I attend the free club which is held once a month at my LQS.  At our last meeting there was a block drive and sewing activity for Quilts of Valor.  I made these two 12 inch finished friendship star blocks out of scraps and stash to donate.

At the meeting we sewed several wild disappearing nine patch blocks to use as setting blocks.  I volunteered to finish up the quilt, so I brought all the blocks home.

We want to make the quilt 60 by 72 inches, so I needed more blocks to finish it up.

I will share the completed quilt soon.
