ACK !! Now I KNOW I need to take a computer class -- even at this old age. These posts have totally BLOWN MY MIND.

Everyone, thank you so much for your help on this project. I have another dilemma. I do not think I have enough of the blue stars to finish the border. Does anyone know where I can find Cranston Village Shooting Stars 60987P-Royal? Thanks!

The quilt is really stunning. Question, tho--there are 5 services; Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard. Maybe you could work that one in in the middle to make it look like a Cross.

Thanks Marcia!

Peg, I wish I could, because the Coasties should not be ignored. But, the service blocks are made with panels, and only 4 of the 5 services were depicted. I have a large patch that lists all 5 that will go in the center of the quilt.

Ok all, I finished the top. I ended up having JUST enough of the blue (as in only about 10 inches by 15 inches left) whew!.... I still need to quilt it, but that will have to wait a bit 'cause I need to get snapping on my DD's halloween costume.

Thanks bunches to jstitch and Moonpi for their very helpful suggestions! I don't know what I would have done without you.....:)

OMG Lori,

I love how it turned out..it is truly a one of a kind

How about you, are you happy with it?

And now that it is done, I am thinking that the binding should be blue...
Too bad you dont have any more of it...

I really like it and more importantly, DH loves it. He wants me to make another one so that his veterans support group can raffle it off. I told him only if I get all my other projects done and if I can find the service panels again since we found them by accident at Hancocks on clearance.

Do you want me to check my Hancocks?

I am going into town today...

How much do you want, if I find it and what do you want to pay?

Ours might not be on sale
