A Soldier's Quilt

I belong to a quilt group, which I love, and one of our most recent projects has been a soldier's quilt. One of our members has a nephew who is deploying for his third overseas mission at the end of May. One of his wishes was for a warm quilt for his bunk. As a surprise to him, our group got together to make a patriotic quilt long enough for his tall stature. We had 20 different people work on this quilt in one way or another - piecing blocks, cutting sashing strips, sewing, machine quilting, binding, etc. I don't have a photo of the finished product yet, but here is a photo of all of our blocks laid out, ready to be stitched into rows.

Row Robin

I'm doing a swap in my quilt group, Frayed Edges, called Row Robin. Basically, each of us starts with a row for a quilt, and then you pass it to the next person, and they make a row to go with it. They don't sew it on to your row, because you'll want to arrange all the rows you get yourself. It has been so fun! Unfortunately, I keep forgetting to take photos of the rows I make! At the next meeting I'll have to take photos of all my rows. But I do have a photo of my latest row, and I really like how it turned out!
