Beautiful sentiment and beautiful quilt! Here's one I made for my hubby who is a veteran, but it can apply to Memorial Day, as well.

Both quilts are beautiful. Have a safe holiday and remember all of our wonderful Military past and present.

Thanks for posting about Memorial Day. I made this quilt from Fons & Porter when my husband retired from US Navy. The pattern was nice, but I added my own personalization from fabrics that showed the history of the military from the country's beginning to 9/11. Also added were squares showing my husband's duty stations and also the US Navy hymn. [ATTACH=CONFIG]594898[/ATTACH]
It was hand quilted by Amish ladies in Sugar Grove, PA. It has been well loved and used.
Stay safe everyone. It's so good to have people appreciate the military, first responders, and all involved in keeping us safe.

That is a masterpiece, coopah! I'm sure it has very special meaning for your family.

Everyone's quilts are lovely. Hope you all have a safe and fun holiday weekend. I just watched Jenny Doan's tutorial on using the template to make her flag quilt. Loved it and love your quilt QuiltnNan. These quilts get me inspired to do a RWB quilt.

Love all the quilts. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for recognizing all who served our country. My husband served in the Navy for twenty years.
