    Default Patriotic design quilt for my 3rd son

    I have made quilts for my daughter and 2 sons and had 3 more sons to make them for. Just finished this one for my 3rd son so now only have 2 more to go. He wanted a patriotic theme as he was in the military and so are 2 of his sons. I didn't find a specific pattern so just started putting ideas together. I also decided to add pictures of his family, of him as a young soldier, his sons in uniform, plus wedding pictures of him and his sons and also pictures of his grandchildren. Now that it is finished I have the usual qualms that maybe I really don't like it very much and worry that he and his wife won't. I decided to put it on here to see what you all think.

    Gorgeous! Please thank your son from my family - I have a military family too and my 21yo nephew just return from Afghanistan - prayers for safety for us all.

    Why wouldn't you like this beautiful quilt? You have looked at it too long. Walk away and give it a rest. It is perfect. They will love it.

    What a lot of thought and work you have put into this beautiful quilt for your son and family. Thank him for all of us who do not have family in the armed forces.
