Purple Heart Quilt of Valor

This was made by Mildred in CA.
This is her 133rd QOV!
  I am honored to quilt this for her.

Purple Heart
 
Eagle and words are machine embroidered. 
 
Three different background fills...
...pebbles
...meander
...swirls
 Wonderful to see several fabric companies are making QOV fabric lines.
 Mildred's machine embroidered label...
...and her presentation case for a Purple Heart Marine.
Destination: Medivac unit in Afghanistan.



As I worked on this quilt this 4th of July weekend, I was reminded that we are indeed the
