    I love the creativity of this quilt, it shows a lot of thought went into finding a unique design and pulling it all together. The border is awesome!! You did a great job!! I'm sure she will love and cherish it.

    It was fun to get my son involved. I sent him pictures of several quilts that I thought would lend themselves to the fabric, and this is the one he selected. When I came to the boarder, I knew he wanted mitered corners. But I wasn't sure of the fabric. So, between the LQS and my husband, we narrowed it down to two choices. I scanned those two fabrics and sent them to my son, and he chose the "chevron" fabric.

    Mellow Yellow - this is the quilt idea I copied

    What a thoughtful gift, it's beautiful. I'm sure she'll treasure it as a memory of her dad. 9 years old, too. So unfair. :(

    Bless you for what you did for that child.
    Our Project Linus chapter does Snowball Express once a year for the children of fallen soldiers, but your expression of love and support is such a personal tie between that child and her Dad.
    I am sure she will always cherish it.

    Wonderful. I like the way you incorporated the stars in the quilting. I'm sure she'll treasure it forever.

    This was a wonderful idea and she will treasure it and remember what a wonderful thing you did for her. Good for you. We are so thankful for all the Military people who have fought to preserve our freedoms.
