Default 10 minute block with military uniforms

How ingenious to add the black to make the cathedral window effect! Also very smart to cut away the bulk. I made a 10 min block quilt out of my son's old military uniforms. I zipzaged all the seams open with that thread that dissolves when it gets wet. I sent it to the long armer that way. When he was done with the quilting, I washed it. It turned out well, the thread dissolved like it should and the quilting held the seams open. so that helped with the bulk. I gave it to my 9 yr old grandson for Christmas and he loved it. Nice to have something to cuddle with while daddy is deployed.
