I made this for my grandson that is graduating High School. He has enlisted in the Marines as did his two older brothers.

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.

I should have added that the pattern is Warm Wishes. This is a very fast put-together.

Good for him. With the proper education, he could possibly become a "Mustang". In Marine talk, this is an enlisted member who works his/her self up to Officer ranking.

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.

As a mom of a Marine, this quilt is a winner! A beautiful quilt in honor of a special young man!

You are a wonderful grandmother to make such a beautiful gift of this quilt for your grandson. He will cherish it always. Did you make a quilt for his brothers also?

Love it! My nephew is leaving July 18 for the Marines. He also had time before going to boot camp so has been going to college. He will have his associates by the time he finishes boot camp in October.

Lovely Quilt. Great minds think alike. I am working on one for my granddaughter who will be going to the naval Academy the end of June. This is her plebe quilt (my very first ) and plan on making a new one every year through graduation.

Cyn 05-31-2011 05:03 PM

Beautiful!

Summer Spice 05-31-2011 05:11 PM

Our special thanks to your grandson, ours is in the Navy.
The quilt will be a small part of you he'll be able to cherish on those days away. Thanks for sharing.

Crabby Patty 05-31-2011 08:37 PM

Here is another American who is thankful for all the military personal for their great work in keeping us free. You must be so proud of your three grandsons. I know I would be. Best wishes and prayers for safety for them all.

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.
