just an FYI, some older military members take using the flag emblem on blankets and in clothing to be bad. Semper Fi is the spelling you were looking for. Other phrases might include. "Once a Marine, always a Marine." "No man left behind." "The Few, The Proud, The Marines." Good Luck with your project.

I did a simple block quilt and let the insignia be the star:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]513443[/ATTACH] This is the military quilt I made. I used my old uniforms for the ACU(cammo) patter fabric as a way to show some pride for my service. I thought about adding some name tapes, badges, and patches on there, but I thougt it would look not right to me. I'm really happy with how it turned out. First quilt I ever made and it's what got me started on this journey!
