I find that I actually have the top fabrics for the next two Quilts of Valor, White Out (right) and Clearing Storm at Sunset (left). Both are in my head, with how I should proceed with each!
There are also some bowl cozy's on the table. An additional 'thank you' to the folks helping me get these quilts in the hands of veterans who served long ago, and then continued to serve as police, helping to keep the community safe.
The quilt is less perfect than I would like it to be. Firstly, the purple I ordered online does not appear to be the purple I was sent. Doesn't sound like much, but it makes a very big deal of difference. I should have made a grid and then worked out where to put everything. I worked mostly by memory, and looking at it now, can see where I might have done things differently. Doesn't make it bad, or wrong, just different. I kept making changes, trying to fix the idea in my head better to the quilt, but making changes is never a good idea... Still, there it is.
