I used my Brother PE770 embroidery machine to put the gentleman's last name, retirement rank, and radio call sign on the top. The quilt is backed with camouflage fleece and it is all fmq'd with "hero" words, the countries where he was stationed, stars and hearts. I made a pillow case to match. I hope the gentleman likes it. What do you think?

Thanks for looking.
