Quilts of Valor:
Scroll down to see recipient requirements
A Quilt of Valor is to be large enough to cover an average-sized adult, with an ideal size approximately 60” x 80.” Finished size can be no smaller than 55” x 65” and no larger than 72” x 90 and must be hand or machine quilted - no tied quilts are accepted. Patriotic colors preferred but not required. Need ideas?
Visit http://www.qovf.org/quilt-patterns/ OR
http://www.maryquilts.com/ideas-for-qovs/ and choose from numerous quilt designs!) If you don't want to quilt it, just assemble the top and one of our longarmers will quilt it. Or you can just make one or more blocks, in red, white and blue and 12½" unfinished. Any block will do!
Presentation cases (pillowcase):
(See directions for making a pillowcase here)
They can be any red, white, and blue fabric. Even florals - there is a women’s unit at the VA hospital, and they are so appreciative that we remember them.
