The whole unit will not receive a quilt but he said they would do a drawing. Here are the four I have done. The first is a Disappearing Four Patch from MSQC, second a simple charm square red, white and blue, third and fourth are jelly roll. The last one needs the hand sewing of the binding done. Thanks to our Military!
I just finished a quilt as a graduation gift for a student I had in 1st grade. I found out yesterday from his mom he will be going into the service in June.
