A very moving backstory on the quilt. How perfectly fitting. Bet a gazillion prayers were prayed while making it with love and pride. The design is striking.

Gosh, I had not even noticed that. I had to go back and look.

Oh what a hard time that was for you, Cam's gram. Many prayers and thank yous for your family.

pkelly1947 03-31-2016 10:13 AM

Beautiful way to preserve the memory.

Billy'swife 03-31-2016 10:15 AM

Absolutely beautiful! He will treasure this quilt for years to come.

MargeD 03-31-2016 11:28 AM

What an amazing tribute to your brave grandson. Four of my brothers served during Korea, my DH served in Viet Nam, one brother in the National Guard, and a great niece and her husband served in Afghanistan, she was a munitions expert and he was a medic. They are both safely home now, thank God. That is an amazing quilt.

Wow what a stunner :)

Janice Thompson 03-31-2016 04:01 PM

Awesome quilt. I'm sure your grandson will treasure this. One of the quilters in our RV Park made a quilt honoring Vietnam Veterans that were in her husbands company. She included pictures of the veterans as they in Vietnam in there war clothes, in fox holes etc. Included were embroidered names of the deceased. This quilt will be raffled off at their next convention.

Rose Burnett 03-31-2016 04:24 PM

Great quilt. Clever use of the photograph of your grandson. I love patriotic quilts.
