I have been quilting for just 2 years but really do enjoy it. I live in Lake City, FL. I am on social security so I have to watch my pennies. I have a son that was in the marines & said he would like to see a marine quilt with the emblem in the center (Pieced) Like I said I am basicly a beginner. Can anyone help fpr a pattern for me? I would appreciate any help you can offer.
Thank you in advance.

Whoa! I just googled the emblem and that is a hard one. Best bet would be an applique block. I will do some more looking and in the meanwhile someone else may come up with something. The people here are amazing!

Is this the emblem he wants? Just need to know so I can continue looking.

The outside of circle is black then a narrow gold & then red. the globe & eagle is gold.The roping & the banner from eagles mouth is grey. United States at top of circle & Marine Corps at bottom is done in grey. This may not be possible especially for me. Like you said possibly applique.
These colors ok'd by him.

Welcome from SW Michigan. I go past Lake City several times a year on my way to my condo on Anna Maria Island. Post your question in the Main board... and you'll get lots of help. :mrgreen:

If you go down I-75 you are within a mile of my house! Not sure where Ana Maria Island is. I take it you like FL.
