If you’re looking for a meaningful and patriotic quilting project, this free Quilt of Valor pattern is definitely worth checking out. This lap-size quilt is not only beautiful but also easy to make, thanks to its large Ribbon Star blocks that measure 12″ square. The pattern uses the 8-at-a-time method of making half-square triangles, making it a breeze to piece together. The finished quilt measures 60″ x 72″ – once you string together multiple blocks, they create a stunning effect that looks like friendship stars entwined in a ribbon.
