It was amazing. We ran out of the beautiful white fabric for the Quilt of Valor and we needed some more and what do you know? The first fabric I saw as I walked into the Berry Patch was the white fabric. Yes! What a relief. I was afraid we would have to find another selection for a scrapier look, but we lucked out this time. I was able to buy another yard, which is at least twice what we actually need to complete the quilt.
Of course, I haven't actually *worked* on the Quilt of Valor this week. lol Instead I've spent the week trying to turn a sad little quilt top into a plucky little quilt survivor. I'm happy to say that I believe the patient will live. In fact, while it will never win any construction awards, I think it's going to turn out quite cute. This is a very washed-out picture; it's much more vibrant than this. I got it all stippled in blue thread. Tomorrow I'm going to bind it, not sure what color yet, then I'll take a picture of it outside on Friday morning. Look how flat it is! That was a *major* accomplishment. lol

I think it's very cute and definitely worth saving. You made the right choice. Once quilted it will look really good.
Hi Susan - thank you for visiting my blog and taking the time to comment. I like that quilt top - glad you saved it. You've got some lovely work on display here. My mother is currently making a Dear Jane quilt - in calico and Liberty prints. It's so pretty.
I hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter weekend.
Take care :-)
