Wow What a terrific thing for you to do. And not just any old quilt, a real beauty of a gift. What a patriot.

I think it's great that you do this! Our youngest son is a Major with the 82nd Airborne and when he returned home from Iraq last April, he asked me to do a t-shirt quilt with some of his military tees. So, I did and here they are: God bless our troops!!

Thank you so very much and he absolutely loved it!!! The photos in the middle of the quilt were taken in Iraq and Ft. Bragg. I used printed treasures photo cloth which works wonderfully. I'm planning on making my mom a photo quilt with my children and grandchildren for her birthday in October.
