My last wall hanging was for my husbands man cave. I asked him where he'd like to hang it, then I measured the space and made it based on the wall space available. I would hold off on making a quilt or a wall hanging, plans change. My neighbors son was going to join the Air Force. He didn't pass the physical, he has flat feet and allergies. I've heard other stories of people wanting to serve our country and have found out they have medical problems, bad backs, etc.
