Thank you so very much for donating such lovely quilts to those who have served - they will surely appreciate your hard work! I must speak to our local VA Medical Center about bringing quilt donations to our heros.. Thank you for bringing this subject to my attention

Beautiful quilts and I'm glad to see you using such nice patterns. I know when you make donation quilts there is often a pressure of "quantity over quality" but I think you can have both. I hope the recipients appreciate the work you have put into these.

WOW! Great! Beautiful! My little baby quilts for charity are mostly just 9 patch. Nothing like the ones y'all are doing.

Thanks for everyone's kind words!

These are all lap quilts, approximately 45 x 60. 8 of them are a year's output. The 9th, the French braid, was a UFO that only needed the final border.

The first one pictured, with all the little squares, is a leaders & enders.

My DH, Dad, FIL, & SonIL are/were veterans, (Air Force, Army Air Corps, Navy, and Army, respectively) and GS#1 has his heart set on the Marines. So our vets are close to our hearts.

And those are not just ordinary charity quilts, they are beautiful...you certainly put a lot of time and talent into each of them and for such a wonderful cause. I’m sure your beautiful quilts will be greatly appreciated. You certainly keep yourself busy...amazing work.
