I like the design you came up with using a 4 patch and hst. Nice size, too.

What size is it? I have a high school friend who was on the Enterprise both times it was in an incident. I have been wanting to make him a wheelchair quilt.

The quilt is 42" x 42." We were asked to make them 40 x 40, but that just seemed too small. When I googled it, I found that 45 x 45 was the suggested size for a wheel chair quilt. So I just picked a size in between those two sizes.

Great job, Dina. Do you mind if I ask you what fabric you used for the blue part? It's beautiful.

I bought the blue fabric Friday at Hobby Lobby. There isn't any information the selvage, but I think it is some that they stock all the time. It has neat patriotic sayings on it....like "God bless America," Home of the Brave," etc.
