I just finished this lucky star for my nephew in the Army. He was sceduled to go to Iraq this Dec. and I wanted him to have it before he left. Now, He is not going. Yeahhh...

He wanted the quilt to have new england patriots fabric somewhere in the quilt so, This fabric was extra wide and I decided to use it on the back..
its 80x101.

Great quilt! He will treasure that. I really like the way you made it scrappy, but each star is made from a single fabric. Very nice.

Beautiful work....LOVE the use of all the different fabrics!!!

Double YEAH!!! I am so glad he doesn't have to go. My son is going to be coming home from his last tour of duty in just over a month then he will retire 6 months later from the Air Force. He was lucky this time and went to Djibouti, Africa (happy me). Your quilt is beautiful and I know your nephew will love it. Please tell him we all appreciate him protecting us. God Bless him and all his family.

This is one of, if not THE most beautiful patriotic quilt I have ever seen! I love the scrappy "tone" of the quilt top, the variety of fabrics, the quilting, just the whole thing! WONDERFUL!!!
