    Default RE: Marine panel

    Here is one I did for my DH. He was in Army and Marines, so I used both panels.

    Floating stars are very nice and forgiving. You could incorporate something about tour dgs from TX add a large star for lone star. Interested in flying...maybe some flying geese. When my son went into the Air Force I added many quotations that were encouragements. To me this is a personal quilt that other Marines will see. sempre fi (I am sure I. Have misspelled that would be good words to include.
