Do you ever get sleep LOL how wonderful you are doing this for the troops, I come from a military family and even my grandson's served over seas and now their tours of duty has passed and they are concentrating now on families.
Your work is outstanding and I applaud you.

I usually make them 54" x 78" because this is what the guys told me fit their beds the best but there are some taller guys over there and so some longer ones are thrown in every now and then but for the width, without dragging the floor to much they told me the 54" was good.

That was an altered block from the Quilt Pro program. It was "Kaleidoscope block 26" but instead of using 2 fabrics for the bright blue & black point, I cut it as one piece. And of course I changed up the background colors to get the effect I was looking for. I really liked the way it turned out. Here's a picture of the original block as it looks in the program.

I've been staying busy with quilts, not much time for anything else. These are only a few I've done since the 41 I did at the firsts of last year. I think I ended up doing some where around 80 last year. This year I've slowed down a lot, can afford the fabric so much. But I've been doing what I can. I'm working on a special one now for a WW II vet in Roanoke. He is the last of my hubbies kin on his mother side. He will be 90 on May 5th and we have been invited to his birthday. I talked with his daughter and she really wants me to make him a Patriotic quilt because his wife died last year and what keeps him going is the monthly meetings with all the other WW II vets in the area. So I'm trying to do one that is special for him.

Glad to hear from you, we might have to get together again to do more quilts.

Thanks everyone for all the kind words.
Yep I have nothing better to do with my time so I do spend lots of it making these quilts but it's worth every moment.

WOW!!! Busy you were in deed. Thank you for giving them to those in service. From an old military wife ( hubby did 30 years) I can honestly say they will be apperciated.
