VFW
#1
This seemed like the perfect weekend to post this question!
I'm planning on making a quilt for my husband's Uncle who is very active in the VFW and was wondering if any of you have a favorite patriotic pattern that utulizes a panel in the middle? Im stumped on what design I want to use and could use some inspiration!
Also has anyone seen any VFW fabric anywhere?

No matter what pattern you use, remember that veterans come from ALL lines of service...army, navy, air force, marines, coast guard, etc.....so anything "just" patriotic would be appropriate.

Jan thanks, I'm prior AF myself, but was hoping to find Veterans of Foreign Wars fabric, specific to that organization. He was prior Army but doesn't really talk about that, he focuses now on the VFW, I thought about appliquing thier emblem in the middle, but I'm not that good at applique yet! :D

If it is the right emblem then applique would really look amazing in the middle of the quilt. If you are not in a hurry i'll be happy to help you with the applique part.

If you go to http://vfw.org/ this is the official page and has the official emblem.

Would this help as a center piece? There is another VFW flag made of rayon which might be difficult to sew. I think it was called an altar flag. Look under VFW/flags from the main page.
Or you might like this patriotic quilt which was in the Fons and Porter July/August 2010 issue which can still be purchased on their website
