Thank you to everyone who participated in November’s design challenge! We say it often, but we love to see how you each take the same fabrics and create so many different designs!
Winners
Two winners were selected randomly. Congratulations to….
Winner 1: Beth M
“My husband is a veteran, serving in both the USMC and Army between 1975 and 1984. I was especially touched when he saw me working on this quilt and commented on it. I was staring at it, thinking it needed something ‘tweaked’ when he walked over and said ‘wow, that’s awesome, you should make that’. I figured if he liked it enough to comment then it must be done.”
- Beth M
Winner 2: Brittany Fisher
“Went for a patriotic burst this round!” - Brittany Fisher

Thank you all so much! This is truly an honor. After nearly 50 years of government service, the last 30+ with the VA, my husband is set to retire at the end of this year. I mentioned to him that, if my design was chosen, I’d like to make this quilt and see if our local VA would accept it to display for all the veterans to enjoy, not just my own.

I made a post in the main challenge post but thought I’d put it here too.
If anyone has someone they know and trust, preferably in Ohio, to machine quilt their precious designs please feel free to contact me at 1redrose2002@gmail.com . Also, if you’re interested in the pattern, you can contact me at that email too.

Hi EQ8! Well, probably not too many of you have seen this thread lately but I have an update. After a couple of health setbacks and issues with ordering more of the fabrics I used in this design I’ve finally finished the top!!! Due to not being able to secure enough of the fabric I used in the last border (the parchment background with small multi-colored stars) I ended up redesigning it a bit.
I dropped it off to be quilted last week and will post pictures of it finished. Hopefully it’ll be done before Veteran’s Day. I’d still like to donate it to the VA hospital where my hubby retired but haven’t contacted them about it yet. I can’t officially call it a QoV because of that but the spirit of it is still the same (at least for me). If the facility declines my donation then I’ll definitely donate it to QoV for a deserving veteran.
