For
the past year, devouted Star Wars fan and craftster Terri Fontana-Hodges

Squads of the 501st Legion from all over the world. The purpose,
to create a unique quilt to help raise money for the Make-A-Wish
Foundation. Visit eBay, or click the thumbnail below to head straight to the

91 different patches from all over the globe,
including some of the rarest patches created. A few that should
