Great looking quilt! Congrats on a son in the Navy; I too made a quilt for my stepson when he came home the first time after being away. I did an Around the World in nautical fabrics. Enjoy your time with him home.

Your quilt is beautiful, and so is your son. You can tell he loves the quilt, too. God bless him throughout his duty.

I took these pictures about 20 min before posting them. It was a gorgeous day out today.

Wil wrapped in the quilt. He decided that he did not want to shave while home cause he is tired of shaving every day. He shaved his head the day before coming home as well.
