The first week in January, I saw an article about the Quilts
of Valor 2026 National Block Drive, and the block they chose for this year: the
Echo block. I read about the blocks they hope to receive and thought, “I can do
that.” Within days, I was tearing into my stash for red, white (or off-white)
and blue prints. I love scrappy quilting projects. Rediscovering prints I used
years (or even decades) ago brings back lovely memories. They do tend to make
my sewing room look like the aftermath of a hurricane, but the results are just
dazzling. I was midway through this indoor storm when our quilt guild announced
this year’s project: a scrappy top filled with these red, white and blue American
flags; one for each state in the union. The QOV project will be donated to a
veteran, and the flag quilt will commemorate the semiquincentennial. I can do
that.
