Love it! I hava neice joing Army this summer and thinking this would be an perfect Grad gift to give. Now all i gotta do is find these materials. Where would i find it at? I would do it in a slightly different pattern apparently, since this is your pattern to start with.

I went on fabshophop.com and did their search for army and camouflage fabric ("camoflague", did get a few hits). I ended up on a website that had most of the fabrics, though it's so long ago, I can't remember where. They had fabrics for all the branches. I was super careful, I didn't want to use Marine fabric on accident... I know the Army guys wouldn't be happy :D :D Per searching just now, it looks like the Army tanks/helicopter one is a Robert Kaufman.

What a great idea.I hope you won't mind if I take a few ideas from your quilt. I had purchased (years ago) a panel of the Navy emblem. Was going to make a pillow for my son.....a Navy vet. But now I think that a wall hanging would be nice. Thanks for the inspiration........mj

Great job, great quilt. I am sure it will be treasured. You have given me an idea for DH, he was in the Navy. I have a neice who is currently in the Navy,just finishing up boot camp, That would be a nice gift for her also.
Thanks for the idea.
Thanks for the idea.

I have 3 kids and they all went into the military. My daughter was in the navy and did 2 tours in the Medirtrainian waters, My son was in the Army Special Forces as a Airborn Ranger, and my youngest son is currently in the Air Force as a Air Traffic Controller. My brother was also in the Army as a blackhawk pilot and he still is but now as a Army Chaplin. Love to see anything Military!! Great Job. PM'ed you.
