Am I too critical? Suggestions, please.
Our veterans are now entering hospice(s) for end-of-life care.
The hospice where we send these patriotic quilts is now requesting they be "service specific": Army, Navy, Air Forc, Marines, etc. So I got panels of the seals of each service. They are all nice: red, white, blue, gold, except for the Marines. In the panel I found for the Marines, black is substituted for the blue. I was shocked. I looked at the U.S.Marines official website and saw that the usual blue was used (not black). Somehow, I don't feel it's patriotic, and I don't know if an ex-Marine or his family will appreciate a quilt where black is substituted for the "red, white and blue".
our leader said go ahead and build any quilt around that seal panel. Since I believe Marines are tough, rough and ready to protect us, fierce warriors, I thought of camouflage so I am throwing some of the green cami around the seal with random blocks of black and goal.... Here's where you come in. What do you think of this idea? Any other suggestions as to pattern, fabric, etc.
Namaste, Sally
