I have finally completed my husband's military quilt. I think I may have mentioned in a previous post how overwhelmed I felt in trying to make the quilt for him. I wanted it to be perfect or as perfect as my current skill level would allow. My husband served in the US Navy and was active in Desert Storm. Just listening to all of the experiences that he has had during his tour (both good and bad) makes me really appreciate, honor, and respect our servicemen and women. Their sacrifices has not gone unnoticed. Making this quilt has given me a whole new admiration for the men and women who serve in all branches of the US military.
I have decided to make more quilts to donate to the local veteran shelters in my area. I still have a lot of military fabric that I will use to make quilts for donation. I will add a page to this blog where I will post completed projects and other details pertaining to my donation efforts.
Here is a picture of my husband's quilt. I must admit that I had the most difficult time designing it but I think it turned out pretty good. What do you guys think?
It's great, Ophelia. He will be proud of it. And your donations will be so appreciated.
