Veterans & Strings

Back in August, I set a goal for myself to make quilts for the Veterans who attend our local Seniors Center. Below are three of nine that I made, quilted and presented to the Vets. They were very pleased to receive each a quilt.
Here's a link to the rest of the story.  LINK
 
 This one is a simple fractured diamond star design and I added the white stars to make things interesting.
 This is also fractured diamond star but I left out one portion of each diamond star to frame an eagle in the center.
This last one was made from strips of fabric I had left over from some other project and the bargello bottom was also from a previous project.

  7. Your quilts for the veterans are beautiful and so original. Love them. What size were they? I am a big volunteer and quilt maker for our local Quilts of Valor group. It is such a wonderful feeling to see their faces when they receive them.
