Memorial Quilt: Fallen Soldier Quilt

I finished the quilt from the soldiers uniform.

There is so much I want to say about this project. But I'm finding it hard to get the words out.

 

The quilt fits a full or queen bed. I made a label for the back which I framed with the camouflage material and decorated with the uniform buttons - I am not showing this label the information seemed too personal. I also made a little fairy for the daughter. 

I put a lot of effort into the details. Matching my seams, free motion quilting and some fancy corners. 

I really hope that the family enjoys the quilt. I feel truly honored to have been able to do this project for them.

Please do not forget about the charity I Spy quilt - we are still looking for scrap fabric donations. 

Fallen Soldier Quilt

This came in the mail from England and now I have the daunting task of making it into a quilt.

I have to say - I'm truly honored that I have been trusted with this project.

 

I've been reading that I need to treat the material as though it was a neutral color .... deciding on the pattern and fabric choices was really tough.

I spent a long time looking at quilt patterns and finally decided on this pattern.

 

I considered so many patterns and fabrics - it was quite overwhelming to decide. I feel that this pattern will draw focus to the camouflage fabric but not to be overwhelming or heavy in design.

 
I'm cut and already to go. I'll let you know when it is finished. Wish me luck!
