This quilt I made as a donation to my brother's unit in the Marine Corps.
My brother was on a 6-month fleet when they were called up for service in Iraq. It was my brother's 3rd trip over there.
There was a "Welcome Home" committee assigned to his unit and a few months prior to their return to the United States, they asked family members to donate a blanket. One blanket, along with a "Welcome Home" gift basket, would be given to each and every Marine (Approximately 500 Marines).
I am sure they would have taken anything store bought and they did have instructions if someone wanted to make something quick but I wanted to do more than that so I made this one.
