Happy Labor Day to those of us in the USA. Today's post is about a labor of love, that's for sure!
This U.S. Air Force 50th Anniversary Quilt is displayed at the USAF Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB near Dayton, Ohio.
It is so beautiful the way the fabric of so many parts of the US Air Force were brought together in this quilt. It's another "must see" if you get anywhere near Dayton, Ohio.

Definitely a labor of love. Thank you for sharing this awesome quilt. Enjoy your day, Lois.
Truly an amazing piece of art. It's quite beautiful.
What an amazing tribute quilt!
And Happy Labor Day to you too Lois.
Lovely!
Amazing! So much work went into that quilt!
wow. huge and extremely detailed!
What a neat quilt. I love quilts. We have some that my wife's grandmother gave to us and several that Jilda's mom made. They are very special to us.
I've never been to that museum, but when we get up to Ohio, I'd like to have a look.
Happy Labor Day
Your quilt is art for sure. However the top photo of the two dogs in water! That is the most incrediable photo I have ever seen of dogs in water. This should be made into a poster and on your wall. Very nice.
Beautiful work and lots of hours spent on them.
That is truly a magnificent quilt! I just love all the detail.
A magnificent quilt, Lois. How was it constructed? By one person, or many hands doing the different quilt blocks? It is so beautifully displayed, as well. Thank you for sharing.

Unusual (at least for us) and quite moving: this is a work of art and love.
This work is absolutely amazing!!! I have a brother, my oldest brother who was in the Air Force for nearly 20 years.
This quilt is truly a work of art!! I can only imagine the work detail that took place for each and every piece.
I just had to shut things down today on my genealogy work....it'll be there tomorrow. So, thought I'd drop by and give y'all a big Texas Howdy-do!!!
Wow! That's huge.
Love Di ♥
I did not even take a camera when we went there.
Don't you wonder how long it took to put that quilt together? And wonder who all made the blocks...
Oh my gosh it is HUGE!! and very very pretty and greatly made!!
Thank you for sharing all these spots with us, so i can show (hopefully) my mother and father in-law!
Thank you for your sweet comment on my post from Thursday!
