I agree, leave the faces blank and like suggested maybe use different shade of fabric to represent the diversity of our military personel.

I have to say what a beautiful quilt this is going to be when it is finished. What an tribute to pay to those who gave the ultimate to this country.

I think this has the potential of being a quilt show winner!
Actually I found some very small gold buttons that have what looks like an anchor on them that I think are going to be beautiful!! When my DH saw them, he said, "What did you buy those for?" I just said, You'll see. Then when I laid my quilt out in the floor, He said," Oh!! I see now! So, I think they will work just fine. Now I just need to find some small sargeants stripes to go on the uniform sleeves. I may have to drag out the embrodiery!!

Leave the faces blank, I like the different shade of skin tone idea.

They can be walking away into the glorious sunset. Dont put the jacket detail on. When I first glanced at it it looked like they were walking away.
