I love making these quilts to honor our veterans. We don't have a QOV group anywhere in the vicinity, but there is always a need and at the Quilts of Valor site, there is a spot where you can request a destination where you can send your QOV.
This hst layout is called chimney's and cornerstones:
Once again, Jackie did a great job quilting this:
I pretty much let her make the quilting decisions, and she always chooses the perfect design.
I found this piece for the backing at Hobby Lobby:
This one measures 65 x 80", and hopefully, whoever receives it will know that my sincerest thanks for their service and sacrifice and prayers are stitched within.
I hope that one day there will not be a need for these, but until that day arrives, I'll just keep making them.

I am in a HST phase, too. Your layout is great!

Those red, white and blue quilts make me catch my breath. So patriotic!!! I, too, think the layout is exceptional.
Love this QOV! Thank you for your service too.
This is a gorgeous QOV. I love the backing fabric - I need to look for it.
What a beautiful quilt and a great cause you are doing this for ~
What a beautiful QOV. I have used this pattern before for just a scrappy QOV. In fact, I think one of the 7 that I am putting bindings on is this pattern. I'll have to check. We are making great progress on our 100 for the MO unit too. They are so appreciated by those receiving them. Thank you for supporting our troops.
I love this!!!
It sure is wonderful! The backing is awesome! Couldn't be more perfect! It sure would be wonderful if there was no need for these quilts anymore!
This is gorgeous! You've done a marvelous job with this -- beautiful!! :)
I love this one!! Great job!!
