Quilt of Valor #15

I finished quilting this QOV this afternoon and bound and washed it this evening. The quilting on this was a challenge for me and for a while, I wasn’t sure I would like it at all. But washing and a bit of shrinkage can hide a multitude of sins!

The back is white and I love the way the sun shone through hen I took this picture tonight.

I still need to make a label and sew the presentation case. I am really happy this is off the frame!

I am linking up with Confessions of a Fabric Addict and also linking up with Connie at Free Motion by the River. Check to see what others are working on!

    It is just beautiful. The back is as much fun to look at as the front. Someone will be blessed to have this beauty.

    To answer your question on my blog: I don’t do any strip cutting with my studio, all with the rotary cutter. I mostly have triangle dies.
