Hi Cuties! Our group leader asked me to look online and see if I liked any fabrics for our valor quilts. I suggested about 8 or 10 and I think she bought them all! Anyway the flag and the printed squares were a panel I cut apart. Yes, this was another panel passed onto me, in fact I had 2. I ‘borrowed’ one square from the other panel so I’d have 10 printed sqs. Now I have just 8 when I make the other panel into a quilt. I love the check material. I hope the veteran does too. The red looks so dark, almost black, in the picture but it’s dark, almost like blood red. Size is 63 x 81. Have a nice day!-Toogie

Thank you the older I get the more I like to play- I guess I’m in my second childhood- lol

Thank you mops. It sure is different. Now I have to figure a layout for the second panel. You know I don’t like repeats if I can help it.

I always love checks and I was happy Sharon asked my opinion on fabrics. My sister said it shows they value me and my ideas. Well it feels nice to be appreciated.😊

Thanks Karen, I wonder at times if I don’t confuse my poor hubby. You know I’ve said before, he holds my rulers while I cut so they don’t slip. I layout on my living room floor. It’s all in my head and so as the top comes together I often wonder what he thinks. He is a man of few words but he does notice if I have something laid wrong. For instance here I had the two hat blocks close together, so I had to move one.

Thank you Brenda. My sister says this is a lot of work. I tell her as long as I have the freedom to use my own ideas or make something I want to try, I enjoy it and don’t think of it as work. I find when someone is trying to tell me it HAS to be a certain way, I don’t enjoy because I worry they may not like it in the end.
