Okay, this is probably out in left field. But here is what I would do. This is for the Quilts of Valor. How about making a replica of the American Flag? Not perfect, but with stripes, stars in the upper left hand corner. It appears that 5 blocks by 2 blocks will do it and on the last white stripe of the flag, put something like "Thank you for sharing your life for our country" or something else. This makes this quilt totally unique. Just put it across the 5 squares and it will look like you deliberately made this quilt special...my thoughts..can you tell, I have made some whoops on my own quilts??????
