Quilt of Valor/Three Tours

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Machine Quilting: Free-Motion & More »

Instructions

I found the pattern in an issue of Fons and Porter Quilting Magazine

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Unisex

Style: Military


Materials

Cotton

What was your inspiration?

I wanted to honor a special military person with a Quilt of Valor. I found this pattern in Fons and Porter's Quilting Magazine and fell in love with it.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

I pieced and quilted this quilt on my home sewing machine. Most of the quilting is done with a walking foot and stitching in the ditch which is fairly easy for a beginner quilter. I also did a little meandering/stippling in some of the blocks. Just enough to test the waters of free motion quilting. I am hooked!
