    Nice Quilt for your FIL!! :thumbup: I am so thrilled to know that he did enjoy it for awhile. I am sure it meant a great deal to him. My DH & DS are both x-Marine's, so I know how special these things are to them. Marvelous work, too!!
    :D :D :D :D

    Thank you all for your wonderful comments!
    and Hello to everone!
    I just found this site and hoping I will be able to
    learn a few things and make new friends.

    I forgot to post the fabric that was used for the backing of Semper Fidelis...
