my darling son's golden anchor
 

I made this for my son who was in the Navy. THe ship he was on was the Boxer, the only ship in the Navy that had a golden anchor. IT was Petula Pinks free pattern, and im giving it to him for christmas this year. Was going to give it to him on his 30th birthday, but, i figured he could use it while its cold, cuz his birthday is in April.

Katz, that turned out just perfectly delightful. Love it.

Wow, that’s fantastic! How big is it? It’ll mean a lot to your son. Please thank him for his service for me.

terrific quilt

Having been a Navy daughter as well as a Navy wife I had to look up the Golden Anchor. Congratulations to your son's ship and to him. He will love your quilt.

So very nice. You did a wonderful job on it.

What a thoughtful gift! It's beautiful!

A perfect gift!!!

Oh my gosh....this is outstanding!!! I absolutely love this. Labor of love and pride.

lovely quilt

The quilt will mean a lot to him! Way to go!

Very impressive!! I am sure he will love it.

That is an amazing quilt. I have a friend whose son also served on the Boxer. He was a gunners mate. He was a victim of PTSD and took his own life 4 years ago. We all miss him so much. He would have loved that quilt. I will show this to his mom as she is also a quilter.

Outstanding! He will appreciate your kindness~

Katz, this is gorgeous. Your son is going to find it so meaningful. (He just may tear up.) What a wonderful memory for him. I thank him for his service to our country. Have a Merry Christmas.

Very nice!

That color contrast selection was probably difficult, but you nailed it.

What a wonderful gift, he’s going to appreciate your hard work, talent and thoughtfulness.

That is truly a magnificent quilt. I really do like the elegant simplicity of the design. Good work!!

That is stunning. I really like the way you did the anchor. Your color choices and placement just gives so much dimension to the quilt. I know your son will love his gift from you.

What a co-incidence! I'm just about to start the very same quilt! Mine is going to a retired Navy Chief of 20 years from his loving wife. ( she's commissioned me to make it for her) Thanks for the lovely picture of yours for inspiration! You did a wonderful job on it!

Wow, that is awesome! Great job and a beautiful quilt!

wow, great job!

Excellent! I am sure it will be treasured

That is beautiful! I'm sure it will be loved!

I think there is a distinct possibility you may see a grown man tear up just a bit on Christmas morning when this beauty is unfurled. I especially love your background choices of blue and white only the white has sand dollars on it. What a wonderful gift for your son.

Amazing!! Your fabric choices are outstanding. I just know he will treasure this - such a loving gift. Many, many thanks to him for serving our great country.
