OverviewWhen 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 honour their service. A volunteer team donates their time and materials to make a quilt collaboratively. Since its beginning, this all-volunteer organisation with close to 7,000 members nationwide has awarded more than 180,000 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 organisation's Under Our Wings project, which brings young people into Quilts of Valor and encourages them to learn to sew, is featured, too.
