My friend made a T-shirt quilt with all her husband's shirts from different units, bases, etc. and did wide sashing with his cammies. It is really awesome. We are now doing a quilt for his retirement, and have machine embroidered "split" stars with the 6 base names where he was stationed along with star blocks made by friends with a cohesive background fabric. It is looking really great! I think she is planning a second quilt (more for a wall hanging) with the Pledge of Allegiance, an Airforce ensignia, a "subway art" type square with lots of great captions, and one with his unit's logo. I think it is great to honor our service men and women, but agree, only cut if you have permission.
