Veteran's Day Quilt

Chris and Donna helped to make three of the blocks in this quilt, then I finished it up so our quilt group can donate it for Veteran's Day.  Our group averages three or four quilts donated for Veteran's Day each year.  This one I photographed at the VA Medical Center before turning it in.  

I have lots of red, white, and blue fabric.  I have a bin of red and white, a bin of blue and white, a bin of red, white, and blue, and a bin of RWB scraps.  I have managed to use more of blue and white fabric this year, so I can now get the lid on the bin.  I should try to make a quilt with just blue and white fabrics, which is why I started collecting blue and white fabrics in the first place.  I tried to use them up doing the Sunset Sail quilt a few years ago, but because I needed two yards of one fabric and none of my two yard bits were the right tone, I hade to buy more fabric!  That was a lesson in futility.
