Comments

I originally had planned this quilt to be for me, but it quickly morphed into a special gift for one of my grand nephews. Not finished in time for his high school graduation, I plugged along until now it will be sent to him to celebrate his enlistment in the US Navy; his training as a corpsman at San Antonio Military Medical Center; and now serving at his first duty station at the US military medical center in Okinawa, Japan. Ahoy, Jerry! And Thanks to all of our military personnel, both at home and abroad.
