My dear SIL asked if I would make a Quilt of Valor for a friend of his. That was an easy yes!
I pulled out this panel from Northcott. It’s been around a while. I love it, but I often find panels difficult to use.

I have these fabrics from the same line.

I could skip the panel and make something like this. I made this quilt to honor the years my brother served in the US Coastguard.

Hmmmm….
Have a great day!
