My nephew recently returned from his 3rd tour in Afghanistan and a quilt I've been working on this past year is 'close' to completion. I keep thinking of how to title the quilt. Does anyone have suggestions?

Red/white & blue, each block is different, and most blocks are variations of star patterns. I'll post a photo when the top is completed.

Your ideas are appreciated!

A 3 time Hero's quilt. Thank him for us.

Stars of Honor, Stars of Valor, Stars of Liberty ... perhaps something along those lines would work.

Frequently, soldiers are giving nicknames....see if he has one and if it is appropriate to use in naming the quilt....

Thanks everyone for your suggestions! Stars of Liberty or Freedom may become the title. I heard he is 'tired' of the tours and currently doesn't want to keep being reminded so a less specific title will probably fit his desire. I can certainly understand....only married a few years and he's been away for most of them. Looking forward to his new life at home.

Maybe name the quilt 'Welcome Home'? Or just 'Home'?

How about "Guiding Stars" to celebrate his new life path. To celebrate what is to be and not what has been.

I would use 'home' in the title. As the wife of a military man (that thankfully has not been "requested" overseas!) that has been away from home a good part of our marriage, anything about home and honoring what he has NOW and HERE instead of what he has when he's gone is appreciated.

Good luck, thank him for us, and thank his wife too. Her job is also incredibly hard. <3
