Utility Quilt

I finally finished this quilt for Josh. Yay! All of the blocks are cut from Josh's utilities from the Marines. After awhile they didn't fit him so well and instead of just getting rid of them, I cut blocks from them and made this. The back is made from a green flannel sheet.
Here are some close-ups of a couple of the blocks:

Jenny, this is just awesome!

You know, this would be such a cool idea for chlidren who have parents serving in the military or families who have lost a soldier. You could start your own organization!

Jenny, this quilt makes me want to cry. What a wonderful way to heirloom Josh's time in the Marines. It's just so, so, so neat!
