Can I get it done in time? And which fabric for the border?
 
3 Attachment(s)
My youngest son is coming to visit in mid June. I finished the 2 older brothers' military quilts before they got out. This kid has been out since December and he still doesn't have his quilt. I'm leaning to the camo for the border, what do you think?
Stupid job keeps interfering with my recreational sewing time!
I'm adding in the other boys' quilts just because I like seeing them all together!

Great quilts! I like the Camo for the border on the first one.

ManiacQuilter2 05-25-2016 12:54 PM

Very well done quilts I think the cameo fabric looks great.

Great quilts! I like the camo border best.

CajunQuilter2 05-25-2016 02:35 PM

those are amazing. Love the pattern.. I like the camo the best for the border. Choose which one talks to you the most.

That is a awesome looking quilt, and yes on the camo border. Thank your for your family's military service. I'm sure you are proud of them.

Definitely the camo. The beige is my second favorite as you could do nice FMQ on it. The green is too intense imo. ...and YES you can do it!

I love the Camo...looks great.

Camo is the way to go. You can do it! Thank your sons for serving our country.

Thank your sons for their service. We keep all our men and women who are in harms ways serving our country in prayer.

Go with the cameo. It will look great. How awesome that each of your boys served their country.

Those are great quilts.

BluegrassGurl 05-25-2016 08:00 PM

Great quilts! Of the two, I would choose the camo.

Good luck!

Prefer the dark green for border. Great quilts for 3 patriotic sons.

I agree with the others. Use the camo.

Annaquilts 05-26-2016 02:27 AM

Superb quilts! Definitely the camo for me too. I know my son would prefer the camo also. You must be so proud of your sons. Please thank them from us for their service.

Have to agree with the camo border!

Jordan 05-26-2016 07:08 AM

Camo fabric would look great as a border. Thx for sharing with us the other quilts you have made.

Jingle 05-26-2016 07:21 AM

Great quilts. I like the camo border for the first quilt.

lfletcher 05-26-2016 10:17 AM

I like the dark green the best.

Material Witness 05-26-2016 12:34 PM

My military husband loves them all!

hudgoddess 05-26-2016 09:33 PM

Thanks ladies! I went with the camo, and of course it's camo on the back too. My first son would wrap up in his with the back facing out and called it his "cloak of invisibility"!
Making progress! I got it pin-basted today!

I think the military green makes the quilt look better, frames it nicely.

Taughtby Grandma 05-27-2016 03:28 AM

Awesome quilts, I like camo for the border.

Kris P 05-27-2016 03:32 AM

Awesome quilts. Yes, do camo for the border. He's going to love it.

twinkie 05-27-2016 03:34 AM

Great looking quilts. This one will be well worth the wait.

redstilettos 05-27-2016 03:47 AM

First, thank you and your sons for their commitment to the military. What an honorable profession. As a mom-in-law of another Airborn, I'd LOVE to know where you came up with the idea (hopefully it is a pattern!) as I'd really like to do something like this for son-in-law.

I'm with the rest...love the cammie for the border :)
thanks for letting us see all of them together. You should be quite proud of them and your boys!

Karamarie 05-27-2016 04:57 AM

Lucky boys. My vote is for camo.

luci4 05-27-2016 05:29 AM

Camo is the way to go. Great looking quilt.
