Our guild had a sewing day on Saturday morning before our meeting. This Quilt of Valor top is the result, and we accomplished it in less than 3 hours. The blocks were already made, but we added a narrow border on a few to make them all 12.5" square.
Ruby and Pam sewed like crazy, while Carmen pressed. I cut sashing and cornerstones, and the block borders. We had enough Garlic Knot blocks to finish another QOV, and start one more. Carmen pressed a lot of Garlic Knot blocks too. But with such a small group working we just focused on the other quilt. It's graduation season - and youth baseball season - so we had a lot of people with bigger family priorities last weekend. We'll do another sewing day and finish up the other quilts too.
Excellent job, ladies! The friendship star with the flying geese is wonderful - I never think to do frames on two sides of a block. I'm eager to see the Garlic Knots quilt top.
