Quilts of Valor

Mississippi Valley Quilt Guild has a very active Quilts of Valor group. 
They meet once a month and sew beautiful quilts to give to veterans.
Today I joined them from 9-2 and made 12 blocks as well as a pillow case.


This was a fun block that starts with a 10 inch square.  You sew around the outside then make specific cuts to end up with 4 half triangles 4 arrowed strips and 2 smaller squares already
sewn down the middle with which to make your 4 square for the middle.
