My 84-year-old father is quite ill. He's a graduate of the US Military Academy at West Point (class of 1948), something in which he takes great pride and delight, especially in his old age.
I found some USMA fabric at Hancock - bought 2 yards - and would like to make him a lap (or twin?) size quilt. But as a newby quilter, I really don't have a clue as to how best to do this. Please make suggestions!!!
Two photos of the fabric are attached. The colored areas measure 2 3/4" x 2 3/4". While the colors of the USMA are gold and black, the "gold" in this fabric is more of a muddy "camel" - not something one would want to bring out (and almost impossible to match, anyway).
I so look forward to your ideas for a not-too-time-consuming ('cuz Dad is 84 and failing) quilt pattern. THANK YOU for helping me!!!
Sue
PS: I'm not sure I've posted the right photos. If they're the wrong ones, please bear with me (as this is my first effort) and look for my next attempt.
