Quilts of valor is a nation-wide effort to make patriotic quilts for our valiant servicemen , particularly those that have been wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. Members of the guild support this program by making 12 1/2 in. quilt blocks, (Red, white, and blue) patriotic quilt tops, pillow cases, and by quilting the quilt tops. Members have also generously contributed funds for postage , as well as donated fabric and batting to support this on-going program. Thus far over 300 quilts have been mailed.

MAKING A QUILT OF VALOR
Quilts of Valor must be 50" x 70" and incorporate any kind of patriotic fabric.  You may finish quilt it or give the pieced top to the guild and have them quilt it.  Piecing may be done in any way you wish, according to your own artistic process.  If you wish, you may donate 12 1/2 inch blocks in patriotic fabrics and members will finish the quilt for you.
