    Crown Quilt

    I liked Jenny's Crown Quilt but I did not like the one sort of gray color she used. I decided I did not have the contrast color in my Quilts of Valor stash so I decided to alter the pattern and change the second block to red, white and blue 4 patch blocks. Also Quilts of Valor are usually between 55 and 65 inches wide and 68- 80 inches long. This ruled out a 3rd star down the center. I decided to alternate with cream and striped blocks. This came out about 63 x 78. This is what I came up with. Hope you like it.

    I think that turned out great. Someone is going to be so happy to get it!!! I like the way you did the centers to offset the crowns.

          That's so pretty.

                I like what you did replacing the grey. It's very nice and surely will be loved.
