I started this Quilt of Valor (QOV) after my dear friend Cindy asked me to make it for her husband, a Vietnam War veteran. I have gifted her a few quilts over the years and I know she values and appreciates the quilts I give her so I was very happy to oblige.
I quilted it with an allover E2E star quilting design from Urban Elementz. This is my first panel quilt and I was worried the quilting design would detract from the beautiful eagle print. I used a light blue thread and am happy to see that it blends in beautifully.
I used a patriotic print for the backing and also added a sleeve for use as a wall hanging. It measures 42" x 57".
He was very happy to receive it and said he will always treasure it. To Joe, thank you for your service.
