Quilt of Honor = Stars


This is my second star quilt for a veteran.  I liked the first one.  However, I think the larger size of the stars, make this one much  bolder.  These quilts are always needed to bring a little comfort to our recovering veterans.

Quilt of Honor, 40x60


Pattern

Please feel free to use this.  For the stars I drew a star on paper then paper pieced it.  Sorry, I can not find my drawings.  If you make squares the size of the squares + half inch, draw the star, and then paper piece, it should work.

I really like the dynamic look to this one. The large scale stars are terrific. Good job

How did you finish the edge? I
I couldn't see the edge so wanted to know if you added a binding or border.
I really like the bold way the stars "March" forward or down the quilt.

I think the stars make the quilt say something special about the giver & receiver of quilt. Both deserve stars!⭐️

Stunningly wonderful Ann... thank you for always being there for those in need. It is the very special gift YOU give to the world and it is a blessing.
Thanks and I will copy your pattern for Canadian soldier quilt - we are having many return home with injuries, visible and not so much.

Ann, I have long planned to make a wounded warrior quilt. I love your design and just may take you up on using your pattern. If I do so I will make sure you see the finished product. Right now I am about to make a big change that will take up the better part of a year. All things in their time and place.

Anne, your veteran quilt is beautiful. Much like the one you donated to me for my sister's Wheelchair Wounded Warrior quilts project. I know it will be appreciated and valued by the recipient. Maggie Winfield

The edge on all of my charity quilts is a binding. Because I have severe arthritis, sometimes a friend will do that for me.
