I think that it is a wonderful quilt! The extra work involved of using both red and white quilting threads were worth it - perfect choice. If you look closely at the full view photo of the Hunter Star quilt, there is a teaser of another quilt project showing - 'small dresses' from a Fons&Porter pattern - Enjoy the photos. jennellh http://community/webshots/com/user/barnyowl

Blame it all on too much turkey or Black Friday sales. My reader didn't pick up Jenn's posting of my Hunter's Star quilt at all. First, it doesn't like Sunny and now Jenn. Anyhow - if you're in the same lala land I am, when you have time, come Happy Dance with me. When the weather warms up, we'll get on our galloping horses and ignore the missed points. While you're there you'll get distracted by her precious QI Barnaby. I'm told he is not nearly so adorable as at 4 am when it's Happy Hour. The quilt for Wounded Warriors is at

How yummy! The large print makes it so much more interesting than the often seen solids and small prints. I LOVE it! And Small Dresses is going to be adorable!

Absolutely gorgeous! Polly, you've done it again, and I know some service person is going to be wrapped in love very soon. Wunnerful, wunnerful!
Thanks for the amended link, Hanne!
And thanks Jenn for showing us the latest Polly quilt.
It is gorgeous, Polly; and the separate red and white quilt>> I think that it is a wonderful quilt! The extra work involved of
Polly, is the Wounded Warrior project the same as Quilts of Valor or is it a different organization?
I think it's on my list, too, Taria. DH looked at the picture of Polly's and said, "That's similar to one you've made, isn't it?" I said no, to which he replied, "Don't you think you should?" I guess that's telling me he likes it. Maybe I'll have to just make him one of his very own!
i posted a comment on webshots. It sure looks like a difficult pattern. Red & Whites are one of my favorite combos. Is that a new fabric line? Lovce it. Great job Polly! and thanks Jenn.

Wounded Warriors was just a general term. Specifically, I chose Soldiers' Angels after searching a few years ago for the most direct way to hug a wounded military hero. Soldiers' Angels has an APO address and the quilts don't have to be routed around like the other support organizations seem to. If you might want to see how you can help, look around at

I didn't get Jenn's posting either, but that's nothing new. There are several people whose messages I don't get! Polly, the quilt is gorgeous.....so bright and fresh looking! I love it!
This was my first time to piece with a big print. My better judgment warned, " You wouldn't!" and my fearless self said, "Watch me". I had no clue how it would go but it did keep me from dying from repetition. I have the attention span of a 2 year-old. Polly

Now you see, Pat, why I feel like I'm off the hamster's wheel. All four Christmas tree skirts are done plus this one. Don't be anxious about 2 weeks without a roof. It's been 5 years since Hurricane Katrina and there are still folks here doing quite well without roofs. They just anchor a heavy tarpaulin over everything and apparently it holds nicely. Polly
Oh, yes, I did see immediately! You have really been beavering, haven't you!
And thank you for the reassurance about the roof. I believe I Will get quite familiar with the appearance of tarpaulin >g< . In message , Polly Esther writes
It's strikingly beautiful. I love the larger print also...it adds a whole new visual dimension. Congratulations, Polly, for creating such a beauty! Donna
