I went to my local Quilts of Valor meeting yesterday at the Crafty Threads Quilt Shop and we had a great time! Our group, the CT Quilters, has a go-to pattern that we make frequently – The Fourth of July by Bonnie Hunter. We make it scrappy like Bonnie shows so we can maximize our fabric donations and can make kits of the two blocks (a 4-patch and a snowball) for volunteers to make up at home. This is one top that was finished from that pattern and will be sent to one of our longarm quilters:

We also had a potluck lunch to celebrate the holidays … lots of fabulous cooks in this group, let me tell you. I snarfed up some of everything. Today I had to repent and really work at stretching at yoga class! Tomorrow I sew …

WTG on the QOVs, Kathy!
I have that book as well and there are some real beauties in it. Mom and I explored a couple of them when I was home one summer. We wanted to re-size for Wrap 'Em. She did "And All That Jazz"
I keep gravitating to the Fall Frolic or Checkboard Plaids one as I have a ton of plaids and homespuns.
If you don't have a copy, you may want to consider getting it down the line!
