Quilts of Valor

The Quilt Guild of Greater Houston is celebrating it's Golden Jubilee in 2026; and to make this celebration very special, we are making 50 quilts of valor to dedicate to very deserving people. At least 25 of them will be dedicated to women that have served in the armed forces. These are a few of the ones completed and shown in the July guild meeting.

Game on BOM

Moving ahead on my "Game On" block of the month quilt top. 

The next blocks are easy to figure out, so I am working ahead on my own borders.  

I think I will change the last  four small borders. I don't like the small inner border on the right side. I will not repeat it on the outside; and to make it more symmetrical I will repeat only 2 of the small borders patterns on the outside.

Block of the Month-7

Block 7 for the "A Quilting Life" BOM is done. This is a 12 inches finished block. I am looking forward to the next 5 months and to see the suggested setting of the blocks. 

Happy 4th of July 2026

                            Happy 250th birthday.

The Ravens

Finished the top. 

After debating forever if I liked the border of this quilt, I decided to make a small piece of it and see how I liked it with the top. 

It turns out that I like it.

So, the top is done and this is the best I can do to  photograph it. Exercise bike and all in front of it.

The house I grew up was painted green, that is the reason I decided on green  to make the center block. 

I did not want a purple house. I did not use purple at all. 

I know it is part of the poem; but I made my quilt my way.

That the flag was still there

Faded  Flag design by October House patterns.

Happy flag day.

I am hoping to finish this one by the 4th of July.

 I am using my own colors and natural color aida 18 fabric. 

More potato chips quilt

On my design floor, another finished top using potato chips pieces cut 2.5 inches by 4.5 inches and a variety of scraps.

It will be a donation quilt. Quilt blocks are 12.5 inches unfinished. Total of 20 blocks. 

I am considering if I should add a border to make it slightly larger.
