2006 Soldier Quilts
That is the home page of the group with which I am working to create quilts for wounded American soldiers.
They are in need of battings and backings to complete the quilt tops people are sending.
Red, White and Blue fabrics, and variations on those colors, are also needed.

Top Number 37 Squares Strippy.
Moira had sent some 4-patches and some 16 patches, and I had a lot of squares left from various projects,
so I put them all together in this top. Completed 11-21-06 |
Top Number 38 Star Sampler A variety of people contributed to this top.
Michele donated some blocks left over from her swaps, Moira donated some blocks, the two middle blocks are from
Dessa, a pattern tester for Quilter's Cache.

Top Number 39 String Magic
This quilt was so much fun to make! I kept sewing
together strips left from other projects, and cutting blocks to 10.5". I
threw in a few leftovers here and there, including that
top row of blocks from Moira. Love this quilt!

Top Number 41 Sampler Blocks donated by a number of people,
again. Many of the blocks are from Moira, a few are leftover swap blocks from Michele and Gabriele.

in Afghanistan right now. Completed 12-06 |

Completed 12-06. |
These last two are a little different! The quotation blocks inquilt 43 and quilt 44 were
donated by Paula. She blogged that she felt free from burden, because she'd thrown them away.
When I said I could have used them in AmHero quilts, she dug them out and sent them to me.
