Especially those who served in Vietnam. So nice for them to feel that their sacrifice was appreciated.<br />I do like the colour combination in your Bonnie Hunter quilt. Navy and grey do look very nice together with the odd mustard sprinkled in there.Looking good.wish2stitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16845126340311771487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077598313503101930.post-15664590443653357232014-12-16T14:29:08.641-08:002014-12-16T14:29:08.641-08:00Is that really your mom?

G...So great to see those veterans' happy faces. Good job, Kevin. Your mystery quilt blocks look great. I have to admit, as easy as this clue supposedly was, I struggled to get the proper seam. My first attempts were iffy and I had to fiddle with my quarter inch seam to get it right, I only finished 36 so far. I think my cutting was okay, however the die cutter sure looks tempting. It's obvious how it can speed up the process not to mention increasing accuracy.Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04066177625064170284noreply@blogger.com
