Another lovely
Quilt of Valor from those
Quirky Quilters (
and Clairellen) in Michigan - I received six (6) of their gorgeous Quilt of Valor quilt tops ALL at once and this is
QOV #5:

Originally, I thought I'd do quite a bit of custom quilting when I first say this stunning quilt but...after loading it, I realized those 'stars' wanted to shine soooo, decided to quilt 'stars' throughout to help enhance their beauty without detracting from them:

| Star Quilting to enhance the Ohio Stars |
w/custom quilting in the borders
only, and I think that was the very best quilting choice for this quilt:

| Borders w/Stars |

This is another flannel-backed quilt and it quilted up like butta ;-) I like to use either gold or silver thread on these blue printed flannel backs of these particular Quilts of Valor - this one got gold, and it gives a wonderful secondary design on the back without overpowering, as the
Scarlet So Fine #50 thread we chose for the front would have. Takes a little bit to get the tension just right so we won't have pokies but, so worth it.
It has been wonderful quilting this
Quilt of Valor of Sandra's -
Thank YOU!
Time to get this beauty ready for shipping back to Sandra...
Later,

I love those stars! Great job on the quilting (as always) - you do such an amazing job of making these quilts come to life.
