Those goals, again!

 I want to make a quilt of valor this year; it is on my list!  Here is my start.  This was strip pieced, then sub cut to make the pieces.  It is kind of strange to me, to work with much big pieces...I guess I am a tiny scrapper in my soul!!  I am liking it so far.
 This is my flower for block, for Linda Brannock's quilt, Flowers.
I cut it too short!  I have done that a few times...but I will make it work, anyway!!  Have you ever done that??





Have a great day!

Just add a strip of fabric to the bottom to make it the correct size.

That will be a beautiful Quilt of Valor!
I understand the odd feel of suddenly sewing with larger pieces, but it can also be a bit liberating to see a large quilt come together more quickly. :)
Pretty flower block--I'm sure you will make it work out.

That's gonna be a beauty! There are still a LOT of pieces in that QOV. I am not a fan of tiny pieces hence the reason I don't do many Bonnie Hunter quilts! HA I go for visual appeal with the fewest number of pieces possible (and I've made a lot of QOVs and HOBs).

Your QOV is going to be gorgeous!

Well done, so far! It will be wonderful when finished, just like all of your creations. I haven’t made a QOV yet, either, but I have one under construction in Tx. It’s a long term quilt. You know how that works, being a scrapper! You inspire me to make sure it’s one of the first projects to come out of the closet when I get return for the winter. And yes! I’ve most definitely made a little mistake like that before! It goes with the territory! But it’s an easy fix, especially for someone like you!

Great start! This is going to be a wonderful Quilt of Valor.

Oh yes, I have cut too short before. Just add a strip of the background on and, once quilted, should not be noticed.

Lori said...

Most of my quilts have little strips added somewhere where I've cut it wrong!!

Yes, many times I have added a strip of fabric on a too-short block. 'Happens to a lot of us I guess. The blocks are really nice.

It will be so pretty!!

Puffins and purples!!

I was tempted by Puffins...a squirrelly breed!!  LOL!  This fabric was shared with me, and I have been loved these bright, candy corn colors...
