American Honor Quilt of Valor

This quilt top was pieced to honor a former Air Force member, who also volunteered at our local Salvation Army office. She has a tattoo on her leg honoring fallen warriors, so when I saw this fabric panel, I had to apply for a quilt to be awarded to her in a ceremony. The wild colors with circles of text, remind me of the neon tennis shoes she wore as a volunteer, and the words, "Kind Heart, Fierce Mind, Brave Spirit" fit her to a tee.
