I got the pattern from charismascorner.com . She has made several and the layout is quite simple. After I got all the squares cut out I spent about 2 hours sewing them into rows and then about 2 hours sewing the rows together. I used 5 3/4 unfinished squares to end up with a smallish queen size quilt.
I made this one for a similar reason I have a nephew who was in the National Guard for many years and is struggling now. He was recently diagnosed as 80% disabled due to PTSD and really hates what he feels is the negative label.

If you enjoy hand sewing, you would probably enjoy quilting. I simply do not have the patience for hand quilting--I gave it a good try but ended up having a friend finish the project! I like you quilt top.
