Default My first quilt top since my accident in april!

Although the pictures are not very good, this is the first quilt top I have made since I fell and badly injured both shoulders. My Grandson is in the Air Force and stationed in Alaska. He is getting married this month and I made this for him and Kelly. It is at the LAQ now and being quilted with stars. Hope I can get the binding done in time for the wedding. Wish me luck. Maybe I can post better pictures after it is finished. over 75% of the patriotic fabric (including the cornerstone panels) is from the 50's and 60's. The center rail fence was already cut out for a vest size small (definitely not my size) and never sown together. Knowing I wouldn't use it for a vest, I cut it into strips. The eagles and the hearts (in the lower right corner of the close up picture) that are appliqued in the corners of the center section are secured with a blanket stitch. The colors in the close up of the cornerstone are a lot closer to the real color. I hope they like it. And, thanks for looking

It isn't crooked on the right, it just looks like it is
