3 quilted items for a reunion

My brother served in Vietnam and some of their unit members have been getting together and having a reunion and this year is their 11th. Some times I make a small item for each Vet that is going. The last couple of reunions I've made some items for their raffle and they use the money to help pay for their meeting room. This year I made 2 table runners and 1 super simple lap quilt. The fabric for the quilt is "Because of the Brave" by Moda. I got my fabric from Missouri Star Quilt Co. On all 3 labels that are on the backs I tried to blur out the date. The pictures of the backs of table runners they are folded over.

That is so nice of you to make these meeting more enjoyable. These vets did NOT come home to a hero's welcome that they deserved. A 2nd cousin and a neighbor of mine did not return from that war.

You are so nice to do these for those Veterans! Can you tell me what is the name of the block in the top picture that looks like chain link? These are all beautiful projects.
