In the center of stars is a large black button from an official Marine Corp uniform.
Dad only got to enjoy it for a short while.

Hello Ladyt, I just saw the beautiful S.F. Quilt you made and I am making one for my husband. I bought a 10 inch marine corp patch (emblem) which is embroided and looks similar to the one you used. It has a shiny substance on the back and is fairly thick. I am wondering if I should wash it first, or just sew it onto some material. It is pretty stiff, did you have a similar center piece for your quilt? I hope you see this. Thanks for sharing this beautiful quilt.

Thank you.
The center piece I used was actually a pillow panel I found on ebay. (REALLY reasonably priced!)
Not sure what the shiny substance might be unless it already has some type of fusible on it. I would probably just sew it onto the fabric I was going to use.
I be afraid to wash it; my luck it would come out all wonky.
