After I presented the QOV to Houston last week, a coworker asked how her husband could get a quilt too. He is a Gulf War vet and served with the Marines. I told her I would be honored to make a quilt for him. I came home and for several days, I could not come up with an idea that felt right. I have several projects on my to do list right now but I haven’t yet made a QOV for June. I try to complete one a month. I had some bits and pieces from an earlier failed idea and started throwing them up on the wall.

Okay, not quite right but there is something there. I walked away, posted a pic on the QOV Facebook page and someone suggested more white. I ran some errands and came back.

Yep, that was the ticket! I still need to add an outer border of the flag fabric. I will have just enough.
I think this will be a really fun one to quilt. But that won’t happen for a while. DH is on a business trip to Asia so I am in charge of lawn care while he is gone. Daughter #3 and I are also getting ready to paint her new room. Her current room will become the guest room. And then there is the day job…..
BTW, if any of my readers in Michigan is looking for a midarm quilting machine, I am ready to sell my Hobby Quilter. I set it up in my family room so anyone interested could try it out. It is stitching beautifully and is cleaned up and ready to go.

Time to get a move on. So much to do today!
