i've been working on the first quilt of valor designated for the navy this weekend - finished all 42 squares about 10 minutes ago. whew! there are blocks of both the light and the dark fabric with the red or the beige centers and i plan on mixing it randomly.
looking at the two stacks here really makes it seem like a small pile of fabric for a snuggly quilt, but it always works, doesn't it? now i just have to sew them into rows and join the rows. no idea what the backing will be yet, but i have a few days or so. maybe longer...i'll contact the QOV organization probably later this week to see if there is a long-arm volunteer ready for my quilt top and backing. i keep debating on sending this one now or waiting until i have a second quilt top done and see if one long-armer can do both before sending them back.
