Description

---

When the Quilts of Valor Foundation was founded in 2003, its mission was to cover our nation's military touched by war--that is, to cover them with quilts and honor their service.

• A volunteer team donate their time and materials to make a quilt collaboratively.
• Since its beginning, this all-volunteer organization with close to 8,000 members nationwide has awarded more than 200,000 Quilts of Valor.
• This book explains the history of military quilts since our nation's beginning, and features a Quilt of Valor to represent each of our 50 states.
• Also included are 16 quilt patterns to choose from, to inspire you to make your own Quilt of Valor.
• The organization's Under Our Wings project, which brings young people into Quilts of Valor and encourages them to learn to sew, is featured, too.

Quilts of Valor has over 11,000 members nationwide, who have awarded over 300,000 Quilts of Valor to military members. Ann Parsons Holte, Renelda Peldunas-Harter, Ann Rehbein, and Sue Reich are dedicated to the QOVF mission to "cover military touched by war."
