Charity Quilts

This week I finished a couple of charity quilts.  These two were for the Quilts of Valor organization.ImageImage

The first one, in red,white and blue, I quilted with an over all pattern I call Loopy Stars.  It seemed appropriate.Image

 

The second was a little more whimsical in color and fabric choices so I used my Spirals pattern.Image

.Both of theses quilts were string pieced and used a variety of fabrics.  It looks like a great way to use up scraps.ImageImage

Unfortunately, I don’t know who pieced them, or I would give credit.  I sent them off.  The next person will bind them and then they will go to their recipients.  It’s a wonderful collaboration and I’m grateful that I had the opportunity to do my part.

Flag Day Memories

Whenever I think of Flag Day, I think of my Grandmother Griffiths.  June 14th was her birthday.  This year, I realized that she would have been 125!  She was already 70 when I was born, but luckily, she lived until 90 so I had a chance to know her well.   I love flags and the combination of red, white and blue.  It just says Summer.
