When blog readers sent me quilts for the recent disasters, one of the quilts was a string quilt done in reds, whites and blues. Â I asked if I could hold that quilt back and finish it for a Quilt of Valor. Â I can’t remember for sure but I think this one was done by Shirley-please correct in the comments if I am wrong.
I just loved the quilt. Â I forgot to take a picture, but the backing is a red and white check. Â Perfect for a Quilt of Valor.
I did some cheesy custom quilting….stars in the border and a medallion in the center of the strings. Â All in all I was happy with it. Â Â I love that I am able to work with blog readers to do good for others.
This quilt was sent out the next time I have a trip to the post office. Â Speaking of the post office. Â I want to thank two readers for sending some money to help cover postage for the charity quilts. Â It is so appreciated!! Â Thanks for thinking of me and doing your part in making the charity quilts happen.
