WIP Wednesday: Quilt of Valor

When I first got into quilting and the addiction for it got better and better ;) I googled like crazy for various quilting sites and blogs and stores and pretty much anything to do with quilting and came across the Quilts of Valor Foundation.

I was instantly in love with them and their efforts.   I have always had a soft spot for military men and women.  I have had friends in the military but no significant others.  The only relatives in the war were grandfathers that fought a long time ago, my dad missed the draft for Vietnam by one day which is probably why I am here today so I am thankful for that.   I just appreciate all that they do and what they put themselves through for the sake of freedom. 

The Quilts of Valor Foundation takes quilt donations and gives them to veterans, both old and new, and wounded soldiers.  There is nothing more heartwarming than providing a quilt to someone who could use a little love and comfort after what they have been through.  So I found a pattern, picked out my fabric and have been working on my QOV quilt.

I have the main blocks done.  Next I need to do the sashing and add the borders.   My goal is to get the sashing done this weekend and if possible add the borders too.   I'm going to set my expectations at just the sashing for now though.  :)

Here is what I have going on so far:
