What a treasure for him

The quilt is beautiful. Thanks for the pattern too. My husband served in the Marines, so this might be a special project gift for him.

He will have time to use it because his ship date is not until March. He is enrolling in college to get some credits before going.

Yup! It was his graduation at MCRD. He really loves that quilt and uses it all the time. Made me feel good. :-)

Please let him know that a lot of real Americans truly do appreciate his work and his willing to fight for America. You must be very proud of him.

Amen! :thumbup:

Hi Jeank,
Where did you find the fabric? We live within a couple of hours to Camp LeJuene and the Wounded Warrior Program. Would love to make some lap quilts for that Program and the fabric would be perfect. Thanks in advance for the info.
