    Default Quilts For Veterans

    Our Guild has several places for our donations and one is for the Veterans. I just finished making 2 and donated them at the last meeting. They are both 54 X 70 and the pattern is Turning Twenty. Due to the size we need to make them, these are a little smaller so I re-named them Turning Twelve (these are 12 blocks instead of the normal 20). I put a close-up of the darkest fabric so you could see how special it is. Thank you for looking.

    Wonderful fabric -- and the other choices are perfect too. So good of so many to remember that a few good men & women are keeping us safe, able to enjoy our freedoms due to their efforts.

    Your quilts are very special and will be so loved and appreciated by our Veterans! I'm sure they thank you and your guild for all you do for them! Great job! Beautiful quilts!
