In case you're not familiar with Quilts of Valor, here's a quote from their website:

A Quilt of Valor® (QOV) is a quality, handmade quilt that is machine or hand quilted. It is awarded to a Service Member or Veteran who has been touched by war.

If you love a little history (as I do), you can read about the QOV Foundation's story here:

I'll give you a sneak peek - over 350,000 quilts have been awarded to Veterans!

In honor of the 4th of July, this week’s project is a stunning Quilt of Valor (intended for a very special wounded veteran)

Topics will include:
- using BLACK batting
- loading the quilt sideways, and WHY
- stitching freehand around the eagle and other features
- various borders
- some ruler work
- and likely some unknowns; we'll see what arises as we go!

As always, the entire episode is streamed in real time - no edits - and you are welcome to ask questions and I'll answer them while I work.

And if you're watching on a replay....join for the LIVE next time, and bring your questions along ❤️
