I just made one for my son out of army fabrics and old uniforms too. I'm putting the army fabric on the back. It's out there if you look I bought it years ago and my ex husband was nice enough to give his old uniforms because the fabric had BDU. Or if you want it warm I would put fleece or flannel since the uniforms aren't the softest material. Good luck!! I also took the name plates off the BDU's and put them on the quilt. Love your quilt!!
