Well, I was finally able to piece this together for my DH. I think it's coming along nicely. It's quite large and I'm basically done piecing. It covers most of our king bed.
However, since my DH was in the Navy and sailed around the world twice, here's what I want to do. I'm having him write down all the ports (he can remember) and will embroider the names around the inner sashing. On the outer sashing I will embroider all the ports we, as a couple, have stopped at during our cruises. I don't see a problem in adding ports to the quilt as we continue through life together. He already told me he loves it. Glad I can make my DH happy.
