I made this top as one of the donation quilts. My second son is Army/National guard and at Easter he was over. When he saw this quilt top his face lit up so I promised he can have this one. I have several more on the way for donation. I had already given my son an "Army" quilt but it did not have the patriotic colors. He really likes the theme and color scheme. The pattern is free online.

I will load a picture of the final quilt top too later.
The center is a pillow panel that Walmart used to cary. any 16 inch square will work. The pattern also has ideas on how to make a log cabin star incase you have no center panel.

No pic. :-(

Anna we need a picture! Can't wait to see it!

Wow...makes me want to stand and salute! It's wonderful!

Love it... where do you find the center square?

Love it, I also make donation quilts. Can you send the link for the pattern, please.

You did a great job!

No wonder his face lit up. It's going to be wonderful.

They are both very nice! Where did you get that center, I want a couple!

Love those log cabins! You did a great job.

Thank you for your kind words about the top and quilt. Also thank you for your patience while I was loading pictures.

My son's in the Army also--would love to make him a log cabin quilt like that. Love it :thumbup:

I think I will make that for my daughter, the mother of 2 Marines, and soon to be 3 Marines.

I already have the Marine center from Walmart.

Jean in MI

they're wonderful!

I see why he wanted it...it's gorgeous :thumbup:

Absolutely beautiful. I can see why he wanted that one as well (smile). Thank you for sharing.

Wonderful Quilt! I wish I had thought of something like that 10 yrs. ago when my son was in the army. I just sent him a regular old quilt.

Love it! I am going to make one for my DH. He will hit 15 yrs in the Marine Corps this August. Thought I had the Marine Corps pillow panel but I don't.

WOW! I just love that quilt. It is so patriotic. You are doing a great job and I am sure it is appreciated by those who receive.

I can see why your son wanted it. Great job.

Lovely!!

Wow! That quilt is beautiful! Fabulous workmanship!

My favorite is the one at the bottom. They are both really nice, but only a guy could love a quilt with tanks on it! :)

I can see why he wanted it. It is beautiful.

Beautiful work and thanks for the pattern!

Both quilts are wonderful, praise God for our wonderful soldiers.

Very nice quilt.

came out fantastic!
