Our latest in our round of quilting, this stunning Quilt of Valor:
 |
| Quilts of Valor Star Group QOV |
We added borders, backing and quilting. This is one of several we received from them - you may remember the Pearl Harbor QOV. One has already been awarded to a very deserving Service Member, the other will be awarded during our 2017 Veteran's Day Celebrations. This colorful naval Quilt of Valor may just be our favorite - turned out wonderfully well, especially since it's the first to be quilted by Miss Betty after her recent tumultuous update ;-) And I think I even recognized a star block or two while quilting, that we sent in!
Once bound and labeled, this particular Quilt of Valor will be shipped back to the Quilts of Valor Stars group to be awarded, since they generously helped us out with QOV quilt tops, when we recently got behind AND as a result of us sending in multiple Star blocks that go into a QOV quilt top drawing, which we lucked out and WON!

Naturally, we couldn't resist adding some of our McTavishing, especially since these Star borders were added just for this quilting purpose:

And the back even looks good:
Next came this lovely Quilt of Valor, and another Miss Betty & I enjoyed quilting Becker's Stars in silver:

Soon - we will need to have a binding party to start getting some of the Quilts of Valor bound and labeled. For now, we're off to the quilting machine to quilt another one!
Later,
