Here's a video that discusses a quilt made from military uniforms:

Also, if you Google for military uniform quilts, you'll get a lot of sites to visit for examples. I looked for one from a couple who was making quilts for highway patrolmen or other law enforcement officials, but I couldn't find that - try Googling Highway Patrol Uniform Quilts and you might find some good ideas there.
