Second "Hero's Tribute" top finished

I started out the new year with a commissioned piecing project.....actually the second-half of last years commission to make 2 "Hero's Tribute" tops.  This is a pattern that was featured in Love of Quilting magazine, designed and pieced by Liz Porter.  I believe that it was presented as a 'Quilt of Valor' idea at the time.

 JoAnn sent me all of the fabrics, and asked for one made with a blue border and one with a red border.

 I completed the first one last year when the weather was good and I was able to get a nice photo on the clothesline outside.

This one was begun about a week ago, and these are the only photos I got besides a poorly lit one on my phone.

I still have quite a few fabrics left over from the original purchases for these tops, so I'll have to put my mind to coming up with something else to piece, maybe.
