Texas Patriot


This quilt was made as a retirement gift for a colonel in the US Army who has devoted his entire life to service to our country. He is a native Texan and I thought that this would be a fitting retirement gift. The quilt is a "grid quilt" and is made of over 450 21/2" squares that then were placed to form the shape of the Lone Star State. I even used some Texas A&M fabric, which was very hard for me but he has two children who graduated from A&M. Personally, I am a UT girl. I hope that he likes the quilt!
