You all have probably heard about the fires in Texas. I made this for a volunteer fire department to use as a fundraiser. I actually finished it 9-11-2011. Fitting isn't it? Hope you like it!

Did you draw the center medallion yourself or did you use a pattern?

Nice job on the quilt!

I just love your fireman quilt. It is beautifully made.

The fireman I spoke to when planning to do this told me to search for maltese crosses. I found several I liked, chose one that did not say copywrited and then used that as a springboard for minimal changes to the design. Then I took it to a copy store and had it blown up. I would have loved to put the fire department's name on it but was afraid it would prevent someone from another dept's participation.

I love this quilt. My neice and her boyfriend are both volunteer firefighters in Lincoln City, Oregon and I couldn't be prouder of them both.
She would love this quilt also. Thank you for sharing it with us. I'm sure it will be appreciate by all those who are firefighters.

That's awesome. I'm going to make a quilt for my son in law who's a firefighter. It was supposed to be done by Christmas but that's not going to happen. I was looking for something special for the middle. I love yours. Could you e-mail me and give me more detailed information on how you did this.
