Modern Hero Quilt Projects Completed:

Hero Project #1

Bishop Mariann Budde

This was the original call for blocks.     

                    

Some participants who live in Northern Virginia 

were available to help assemble the quilt.

Close-up of some of the blocks. We used 

a simple snowball block pattern with all

Philip Jacobs floral fabrics.

          Assembly continues.

                                       

Blocks all sewn and ready to be quilted. Thanks to

Rosanne Williamson for quilting, to Lisa Arthaud for binding, and to Philip Jacobs 

for providing us the beautiful backing fabric he designed.

 Thanks to Maryanne Rozelle's daughter, who delivered the quilt to Bishop Budde!

                               

This is part of Bishop Budde's prayer at National Cathedral.

Hero Project #2

President Zelenskyy

   This is a short excerpt of the meeting at the White House with President Zelenskyy. This is what prompted us to let him know that the White House does not speak for all of us.

Here is the paper-pieced sunflower block, designed by Barbara Hollinger.

  When four of the blocks are put together, you can see the sunflower. 

The center is purposely offset.

Blocks arrived by the dozens and dozens for the quilt.

 Assembly begins under Barbara's careful direction.

 All blocks are joined and the quilt is ready to be quilted.

   Here is a close-up of the beautiful sunflower design, 

quilted by Rosanne Williamson.

         

It was a joy to show this completed quilt to our local guild chapter,

Fairfax Quilter's Unlimited, in Northern Virginia
