Quilts of Valor Foundation

 

Mission:

     * To cover Service Members and Veterans touched by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor.

      * To sew, engage and award Quilts of Valor together. You can be a block builder, top creator, long armer, presenter; there are lots of ways to support the foundation and mission.

 

How To Get Involved

Our QOV group welcomes donated quilt blocks, quilt tops, completed quilts or patriotic fabric donations. See the QOV Basics link below for fabric and size requirements.

​

Our veterans favor the red /white/ blue themes. We have batting and backings to put it all together for long arm quilting. We are always looking for individuals to complete the long arm quilting process too.

 

Presentation cases are always welcome too.[Pillowcase instructions below]

​

Have time for just a couple of blocks? Try the annual “QOV Block of the Year”. We collect these at the Guild meetings or drop off at the Sew Days listed.  See attached instructions for 2026-Echoes block.
