Ever Vigilant

Image
Forever Vigilant   63 x 73 inches Quilt of Valor #261 No pattern was used for this framed panel quilt. The black frame is 2 inches finished; the red frame, 3 inches finished; the beige frame, 4 inches finished; the blue frame, 6 inches finished. Since the panel is so large, I felt it would make more of a statement on its own.

Star Burst

Star Burst 60 # 70 inches Quilt of Valor #260 Star Burst was made with the “Bursting with Love” pattern on pages 28-31 in the 2022 January/February edition of Quiltmaker. My friend RoseMarie showed me the pattern, and I knew immediately that I could easily adapt it to make a Quilt of Valor by just adding borders. Thank you, RoseMarie for sharing this wonderful pattern: I’ll be using it to make another QOV.  The center medallion was made with fabric cut into squares several months ago. The borders were cut from yardage.  * Notes       red frame was cut 1.5” wide       white frame  was cut 2.5 inches       blue side border was cut 7.5 inches wide       blue top/bottom border was cut 5.5 inches wide       striped top/bottom border was cut 7.5 inches wide
