Or I could be wrong.
My husband is retired military and appreciates his quilts in something other than patriotic colors. Friends who are breast cancer survivors want to move forward from pink. We never know the complete history of a quilt. Alzheimer's and dementia patients can't handle busy prints/ designs. I give this Quilt of Valor a pass and pray for the service person and their family. I can't bring it in my heart to judge and count my blessings for the freedom others have made possible through sacrifices -- mental and physical. Thank you, U.S. Military!
