QOV SEWING DAY

This is what I accomplished yesterday for the *QOV sewing day.  There was a huge selection of 'kits' prepared for our choosing or some instead worked on making miles of binding or a constellatioin of star blocks!  It was wonderful!  
I had a pile of 2 1/2" blocks which I had to sew into 4-patches first and then matched them up with squares to make a larger 4-patch!  The rows alternated the 4-patches with blue blocks for the pattern-keeping the reds running in a diagonal and while you are talking, snacking and laughing caused some ripping out to occur! lol
I have several blocks for two more rows finished and we take the work home to finish it up and return the top for additional work.  It was a huge success and such a pleasant way to say thank you to our veterans!
 

*QOV=Quilts of Valor which are presented to veterans upon request to the charity
