Clean Sweep
Quilt of Valor
56 x 70 inches |
Clean Sweep started with one of the
silent auction, eagle napkins. The stars surrounding the eagle were remnants of
Liberty, a previous Quilt of Valor. The three patch units in the next segment were leftover from
Stars and Stripes and
Firecrackers. The corner blocks and the blocks in the final border were leftover from
Plan B.
The reason this quilt was named
Clean Sweep: it emptied the orphan Quilt of Valor elements bin.
Clean Sweep is
QOV #116
It is wonderful:)
ReplyDeleteVery nice! And no more orphan scraps. Well done!
ReplyDeleteAmazing that all those orphans blocks worked so well together, and made such a striking quilt. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThis one looks very *commanding* to me. I hope it goes to someone that was of a high rank during their military career.
ReplyDeleteFrom the musical Hamilton --- "it is the epitome of the modern Major General". ;-)
This. This was the absolute perfect use for all of those blocks. I wish I had just one iota of the talent you have in knowing how to put those leftover blocks together to make something that is this beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Betsy
I love everything about this quilt. I think the most beautiful designs come from using up what we have on hand and using scraps from other quilt projects. This is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI like it! :)
ReplyDeleteI love it! I like how you used different ways to make it. Hugs,
ReplyDeleteI love how modern this quilt looks -- with a touch of tradition provided by the eagle. Great job. You are amazing -- 116 QOVs. Wonderful job. (Do you want some more elements? Just let me know...)
ReplyDeleteWow, all those components came together beautifully for a modern, patriotic quilt! Superbly done.
ReplyDeleteYou always chose the best names for your wonderful quilts and this one came together beautifully! It's very satisfying to pull this and that, remaining from previous projects, and design a quilt, isn't it? And another veteran will be very grateful you are so good at it!
