I think everyone has expressed how I feel about your beautiful, special quilt. Just add a great big thank you for his service. I have met a vet from WWII and he has neuropathy and jungle rot on his feet. Because they swell so bad he wears sandals and no socks. (normal socks even diabetic socks cut off the circulation to his feet) I have been making him polar fleece socks from the Green Pepper Press patterns. He loves them. Nice to find special ways to honor our vets.
