I made this for my husband as a homecoming present from Iraq. It is a tumbleblock pattern and I appliqued 3 differ types of leaves that I stuffed with cotton to lend a 3D affect. I was quite pleased with it. It was machine pieced and hand quilted.

Awesome!!! He is going to love it!!! :D:D:D

You should be pleased! :thumbup:

That's really beautiful. What a snuggly homecoming gift!

Lovely. I really like that you added that 3D element to the leaves. Really balances the 3D effect of the blocks. And, congrats on the homecoming. I also made an Iraq blanket. Feels great to put that much love into a quilt.

Tell him our fmaily thanks him for his service! I am glad that you have him coming home. Also thank you for your sacrifice so that we can live in a free country.

BTW - Love the quilt and I know he will also.

Sending hugs to both of you!

Gorgeous. Is he home now, or will he be coming home soon?

He is home now and was impressed with the quilt :)

He should be impressed because you made an outstanding creation, all for him. I don't see many quilts in the soft colors you chose. I know it helped you pass the time while he was gone. Please thank your husband for me & all of us on the Board for his service to all of us & our Country.

YAY He's home! You must be so proud and happy! Thanks to him, but also to you. I can't imagine how hard it can be to be a military wife. Bless you both.

That's great that he's home. Thank you both. him for his service, and you for sacrificing your time so he can serve.

From an army Mom, dear step-son in Iraq for 18 months, now will be headed to Korea and then probably Afghanistan.

Your quilt is beautiful! Give your husband a hug for me.
