Just prayed for your son. Beautiful Jewel Box. Love the colors. I have been wanting to make that pattern for years, but have not had the fabric speak to me yet. And I've always wondered how the placement of the blocks would go. Looks like you mastered it.

THANK you everyone!!! I LOVE that we have a place where we can all truly appreciate the value of what we do. Not everyone 'gets' it. You've all made me feel very good, and very proud. :o)

prayers for a safe return and the best for both of them

What a lovely gift. I hope it will be used by your future DIL!!!

make sure she sees this pic with the quilt police kitty:D

Its just beautiful and the layouts awesome, will say a prayer for them.

So pretty! It almost gives the effect that you're looking through something to see the colors. Is there a name to your pattern? I could see that on my bed and love the colors, too.

A wonderful quilt. Very nice colors and I notice you have a quilt inspector too!

Beautiful quilt and heartwarming story -- Please thank your wonderful son for his service - our thoughts and prayers are with him. Hope he's home safe soon.

I love it. Moving the colors around helps you see the whole quilt instead of pulling your eye to the brighter colors.
