Quilts of Valor

A Maverick Star block for Amanda Jean’s Quilts of Valor project. This block lends itself so well to scrappy fabrics. I’m certain the quilts will be stunning. I spent way more time deciding which fabrics to use and how I wanted the center to look than piecing the block.

I made this block before using the Quiltville tutorial. Silly BooDilly has a very nice tutorial that results in a 12″ finished block (the size of this one).

Hip hip hooray for the first deadline I’ve been on time for all year, I sure hope it’s the beginning of a trend!

    Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but other than that, this is wonderful blog. An excellent read. I’ll definitely be back.
