Our guild had a short work session before our meeting to work on the tops for our Quilts of Valor. We got a LOT accomplished in about 2.5 hours.
The panel was donated by one member (Ellen) and the 12" blocks and navy yardage were donated by another member, Mary. These are going together for one quilt. Just a couple more seams and this one will be a finished top. I took this photo before the navy sashing was added.
We put 70 Garlic Knot blocks together for another top, and have 30 more stitched into rows for a third quilt top. Sylvia, Peggy, Ellen, and Gwen all sewed up a storm while Ruby and I pressed, cut sashing, and rearranged blocks. And we do have more blocks to finish that third quilt but ran out of sewing time. We were hoping for 2 Quilts of Valor, so 3 is really a lovely surprise development.
And during the meeting another member (Nancy) donated a large gorgeous piece of blue yardage for a backing. We have some terrific people in our guild.

Sounds like you have a great guild and many people working together
So nice to have a good group to get together with. I meant to say a couple posts ago that I absolutely love your Farm Girl quilt. What a great job you did! It's a beauty.
Many hands make light work. Three QOV tops will make three veterans very happy. Well done!
