I bought the mag off of eBay.

I made the throw. It's a quick pattern. The red border is just patchwork squares. The white background is in strips. And, the blue star is applique.

The window banner is 8" x 14" and the quilt is 52 1/2" x 56 1/2".

I have a durable, but kind of unpleasing, synthetic banner for my window. Bought it for a few bucks from a flag store. Can also be found on eBay. One of these days, I'll make the wall banner.
I have made all three sizes. I have the larger quilt, a smaller wall hanging and had made the wool banner, except the dogs ate it!
Fortunately my dd is home now but my son will probably be deploying next summer or so.
