Quilt of Valor

I've finished the quilt top. Now someone else will quilt it and then it will be presented to a combat

service member or veteran.

Today starts week 5 of the mystery Quilt of Valor. I'm starting to like it a little more, but it still has a lot of negative space. Since it's still only 3'x5' I suspect there will be quite a width of bands around the outside. Quilts of Valor must be at least 55" wide and 65" long.

I'm thinking of starting another Mystery Quilt of Valor at a different website. It starts Saturday so I should go get fabric for it tomorrow. Although I have quite a stash, I don't have much in red/white/blue.

New Kayak

I finally got my kayak this summer.

Here is the beginning of the Quilt of Valor. First we make 8 blocks like this.
