craftgrrl | quiltish blanket question (Reply)

hey all! I'm a member of an organization called soldiersangels (soldiersangels.com if any you all are interested) and I'm trying to make a quilt/blanket type thing for the marine I sent care packages to. I'ts going to have some sort of patriotic them, maybe in the shape of a flag or maybe just that color scheme but i want to somehow incorporate a whole bunch of letters people have sent to me to pass along telling the soldiers how much they appreciate and support them. I was thinking maybe a letter per square or making the letters into the stars on the flag but I'm not sure about how to do that. Do you gals have any suggestions? All of them would be greatly appreciated because all I can think to do would be iron on dealies that you print out and I've had bad experiance with those fading and cracking in the past. Thanks so much!
... oh, one last thing, i hope it isnt inappropriate. If any of you would like to send a letter/note of encouragement or support you could email me at dmbblonde17@hotmail.com.

Thank Y'all so much!
