United States Air force Quilt
 

We took my 11 yr old GSo the USAF Museum wed and thursday in Dayton Ohio. Talk about a surprise. There on one of the walls was the most beautiful quilt ever.

Its the 50th Anniversay USAF Quilt it was given to the museum on behalf of the men an woman of the US air force. there are more than 100 handmade squares from every air Force installation throughout the world.
Its 20x20 feet.
The thread used to join the squares flew aboard the space Shuttle Atlantis on Sept 22 1997 mission. Final assembly took more thean 3 months, including 500 hours to hand embroider the lettering.
My picture doesn't do it justice

That is the exact date, day and year, my oldest was born.

My husband served in the AF for over 20yrs. It was a wonderful life for us both. Seeing this quilt brought tears to my eyes. It is gorgeous. I can understand why it is hanging in the museum for all to see and enjoy. Thank you so much for posting it.

Thanks so much for sharing both photo and story!

Amazing. I did not know there was such a fabulous quilt for the AF in their museum. I'm an Army brat; but hey, beauty is beauty. Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful treasure and great information. I am still sad to see the Space Shuttle program end. :(

Thank you for showing us, it is stunning!

Outstanding! Thanks for sharing! :)
