Materials

100% cotton western/country fabrics from my stash.

What was your inspiration?

The nine patch squares were started for my sons many years ago when we were going through a very turbulent time. Life has since taken many turns so finally completing these quilts (second one in progress) is huge for me and symbolizes our family's perserverance, togetherness & love in good times & bad.

What are you most proud of?

The overall appearance and that I actually finished it after all this time!!!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Never give up on quilt blocks, projects or children that you love.

Wasn't sure what QOV was....now I know. Coincidence? My son, Christian, served with the Canadian Forces in Afghanistan in 2008. So lucky to have him home safe & sound.
