Two Finished

I finally finished the binding on two patriotic donation quilts before I left for the beach.

This is brighter than it looks in this picture.

I used the same plaid on the back as in the borders.

I used up some of my patriotic odds and ends of fabric here.

Looks much better once I added the dark  navy binding.

  

Used a few of my leftover blocks to add to the backing.

Our friend and hostess, Carole, is holding up one of the two quilts of valor tops that she was working on.  She will add another border to make it large enough for their program.  Her guilds in the Myrtle Beach area are very active in making Quilts of Valor.

Machines at rest --- Taking a lunch break on the porch on a lovely beach day.

===========================

Have had the nicest young men here putting in carpet today.

They have been friends for 18 years and work so well together. 

Friendly, kind and respectful.

Made my day!
