I just had a request to make a quilt for my grand daughter for her birthday in January. She would, rather her parents would like a pink air force fabric. I have done a search and didn't find any online. Has anyone found anything similar to that in their looking around. Any help in locating either that type or something similar would be appreciated.

My search on quiltshops.com with "air force" and "patriotic pink" yielded nothing. For the fun of it I checked the images file for "air force t shirts" just to see if any are printed up but only a handful of "air force mom" t-shirts are out there. I don't think you'll find an air force fabric with pink but you might find a good pink to sash up some air force themed blocks. Good luck!!

I'm thinking I will have to go with a pink camo sashing with some kind of air force fabric for the blocks. Even better they want me to back it with something that will reflect daddys job to, a tattoo artist. I have no idea of where that part is going but it should be interesting. Has anyone ever done two quilt tops with different themes to make into on reversable quilt? I have until the end of January to get it done so I best to get to thinking.
