This Memorial Weekend my sewing time has been spent on this donation quilt for the VA Hospital, here in SW Washington. Makes my weekend quite special as I think of all the men and women that have fought for our freedom.
I'm using the free Boxy Stars pattern from Quiltville. During retreat last week, I had planned to get the blocks all done but that didn't work out. Some of these blocks were made my my friend, Sonya during retreat. Now I will get the sashing, cornerstones and borders cut and this top will be handed off for the quilting and binding. I hope it makes someone feel special. Because in my eyes, they are.

This is going to be such a great quilt! I love the backgrounds behind those stars. It really makes those stars pop. So generous of you to make this quilt to donate to such a worthy cause!

A grand way to spend Memorial Day.
I agree with Annie that your background is perfect, making the stars the focal point.
Great use of your Memorial Weekend time.

I love Bonnie's patterns. Yours is turning out great. I just finished my Scrappy Bargello and am starting Smokey Mountain Stars. Fun!
