This seemed like a good quilt to post for Veteran's Day. Besides, I think it's my very favorite of all the large-scale floral quilts that were around this year. My friend Columbine commented that he didn't really love the very photo-realistic floral quilts, and I do see his point about that. This one is fairly realistic, but you can also still see that it's a quilt.
