Why so long? For you to find your perfect fabric of course!!  Please share this with all of your Quilt of Valor friends and groups! This is a fabulous quilt, and beginners to professionals will be able to make it. It would be so awesome if we could flood QOV's gates with quilts!!!

Never made a Quilt of Valor before? THIS QUILT is a great one to jump on in with!!

This quilt is designed as a mystery quilt specifically for veterans and military. It’s offered in 2 sizes.

The larger quilt is for the Quilts of Valor program and will finish to approximately 68” x 89”.
