    My daughter just showed me how to post some of my pictures. The next 4 are all "Home of the Brave" quilts that I made in honor of fellow service members in my daughters Army Reserve unit that were Killed in Afghanistan while they were there in August 06

    There are two 12 inch patches on the back of each of the quilts signed by members of their unit while still in Afghanistan

    This was for Robert Paul's 4 year old (at the time) daughter signed by members of my daughters unit

    A couple more quilts. I have been cranking out quilts for all my family members and lots of my children's friends who have all been getting married lately. Bits and Pieces is a favorite pattern because it is quick and easy and uses 12-20 fat quarters depending on how large it needs to be. I enjoy using lots of different fabrics in my quilts

    Bits and Pieces for Nephew Pierce, with mom, Cynthis

    I know I have seen it but I can not seem to find it. Does any out there have or know where I can find the pattern for bits and pieces?
