A family member of Ohio Academy of Family Physicians’ Past President Thomas Houston, MD, created the 2017 Past Presidents’ Quilt. This queen-sized quilt, called a Quilt of Valor, has a Hunter’s Star pattern with a red, white, and blue border and a solid blue backside.
The name, Quilt of Valor, lets folks know that it is red, white, and blue. The quilting of the piece is called “stitched in the ditch,” meaning that the quilt’s stitching is only where there is fabric pieced together, making a more time-consuming pattern of quilting.
The unique thing about the Hunter’s Star pattern is that you can see stars as well as arrowheads when you look carefully at the colors.
There has even been a sleeve sewn in the back so that the lucky winner can choose to hang the piece if he or she wishes.
You don’t want to miss out on this year’s beauty!
