Love your quilt! I appreciate anyone in the military, and their families. They make a lot of sacrifices. My daughter's boyfriend is in training at Fort Benning now and will probably deploy before the end of the year.

Omak had asked for a close up of the word fabric (top and bottom strips), so please see attached. This picture is from the first quilt I made, where I used an inner strip of eagle fabric rather than stars (though still had the outer strip of stars)... just if you're wondering where the eagles came from

Thank you! Now, I know I never saw anything like it, and it is really neat fabric. I'm glad you found it and knew what to do with it!
I think you created a masterpiece of a quilt and I am enjoying looking at it and planning to make one like it (at least one, if not more <g>) <wave>
