 I'm very excited to leave for vacation with no veterans quilts in the closet to be quilted! I finished these two and Brenda has picked them up, with 3 others, to deliver back to the quilters. This one was made by Becky. She's made a couple of them like this. Trip Around the World is a great pattern for playing around with color and value.  This one was made by Peg and I think someone is going to love all of this brightness! She also made the blue and white log cabin from a few posts ago.  I had a lot of trouble settling on a thread color. In the end I decided in a shiny grey. After I quilted the first pass, I wasn't really happy with the thread color but I have a rule that I will not rip out for thread color. I kept going. After the third pass I fell in love with it. I now love the gray thread and I hope Peg will too.
This makes 47 veterans quilts that I've quilted so far this year and that doesn't include 8 of my own quilts. I sure have a lot more time since I retired the fabric business!

I am surprised at how much I love the neutral quilt. You did a great job quilting them.

The veterans are going to be appreciative of the fact that you gave up your business!

Both the quilts look great. I know I will love the gray thread in person! Have a fantastic vacation. Comments are closed.
