QOV part 1

I've committed to making a Quilt of Valor. Along with red, white and blues, the request included turquoise and goldenrod as these are pertinent to the recipients, Navajo code talkers. I had some (tiny) bit in my stash but I needed more so I started plotting design and color layout. I've started on the turquoise and yellow cutting.

These were stripes within a larger design that I couldn't resist chopping up!

Other strips for the six inch outer edge.

I should have gotten a close up of the fabric at the top. It's more teal than turquoise but it has goldenrod dots and white lines that look like signal lines to me or communication satellites. Too cool.

Today I'm off to the fabric store for triangles and a review of what other fabrics I can come up with.

Next post will be update of my mystery quilt progress. What was I thinking to do two?  Oh, yeah, and two knitted shawls and crochet potholders....and library books....
