Prepping More Quilts

Last week I was able to locate the families of three more Fallen Heroes, Sgt. Vorasack Xaysana, Sgt. Faith Hinkley and Sgt. Jason Smith.
I have only one finished CW replica soldier's quilt on hand so I must quilt and bind two more. There are half a dozen letters out to prospective family members, if any of those come back as positive contacts I will need to quilt up some more. Fortunately there is a good stock of tops here from which to draw, many with backings and a couple with bindings prepared. I still have to make the labels and print up the paperwork, which is fairly time consuming so I expect the pepping of these quilts will take me a week or two.
