I walked in. I felt welcomed. The host talked about the theme of the show. The theme was Memorial Day. Each quilt showed a different point of time.

My favorite was the peace sign. I liked the way the colors popped. I liked the meaning behind it.

The show got me thinking. I realized the Vietnam War is different than WWII.

Bright yellows, greens, oranges, reds, and blue fabrics with vivid patterns make up the peace sign. a quilted wall hanging with a World War theme: black and white photographs featuring men and women in uniform appear over a background featuring American flags and vintage trucks
