I made this quilt for a military person serving overseas. I decided to find someone from my town and send it to them. An idea I got from some lovely ladies in another thread on this awesome board.

This should give the recipient some really interesting things to look at. Wonder how many they will remember and how much conversation it will start. Neat!

Wildyard,

Oh, my goodness. You just decided to make that quilt top 2 days ago, and now it's finished?! Whee! American Pie is a great idea for a soldier overseas -- I'm sure it will remind someone of many happy memories "back home." How great that you added the personal note in the yellow border.

You dun gut!
