A Quilt for My Father ⭐ Free Quilt pattern for Quilts of Valor, William's Honor ⭐ Fat Quarter Shop

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This quilt is a special one - it's a quilt designed and named for my father. He served in the National Guard, and in remembrance of him we designed this quilt with the Quilts of Valor Foundation in mind. Their mission is to cover service members and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing quilts.
It works so well with any red, white and blue patriotic fabric, so we brought this free pattern back out and redid it in American Gatherings for this tutorial. I hope you love it as much as I do!

    We are so spoiled with all of your FREE patterns - thank you! My husband, also named William, served in the Army for 23 years! My son, Christopher William, is currently in the Army & I think this quilt would be a perfect gift for his upcoming birthday!

    Thank your dad for his service. I love your quilt. I have made a quilt for my son. He served 2 tours in Afghanistan. He was in the marines so I used marine fabric and in the corners I used the block homeward bound. I made it for him for his 18th birthday , he left soon after for the marines. I am blessed to have him home.

    I made a quilt of valor for both of my brothers, one now deceased, broke down crying in appreciation. I love them both and are so grateful for their service.
