Members of my quit guild had volunteered during build days and made a Quilt of Valor for him. We wanted it to be both patriotic and to represent the new home that will provide more independence for him and his family.
(The pattern for this quilt is a variation on one from Bonnie Hunter's website - Quiltville.com. I added a house block as a medallion and a checkered border. Lots of members worked on the piecing. It was quilted by Maggie Hunt and bound by Ille Waters.)

What a wonderful project for the quilt guild! Beautiful quilt to commemorate a significant day. Glad you could be there to share the celebration.
Love the 3D effect of the setting with the center house block. I'm sure it will be appreciated and enjoyed for years to come. You should all be very proud of your gift!
Love that center block addition to that quilt - very nice!
What a special, meaningful quilt. xo
You and others have made a big difference in Sean's life. His quilt is beautiful.
Wonderful work...houses and quilts go together so well. He is lucky to have such support, and we are all lucky that so many men and women support our country. Thanks for the reminders!

Great looking quilt. I love how you adapted the pattern for your purpose. Wonderful cause you are supporting!
what a terrific, tangible example of patriotism in action. you should all be proud of your efforts on his behalf; i know i am proud of you all!
Thanks to you and your guild for supporting SFC Giddons and his family. It is terrible that so many young people have to adjust to a much different life than they had when they enlisted in the military but I am proud that Americans are receiving them back in a positive way instead of they way they were treated after a previous conflict.
