Boone Quilts of Valor has started! 

For those of you who may be unfamiliar with Quilts of Valor, it is a national organization formed in 2003 to cover Service Members and Veterans touched by war with comforting and healing 

 A Quilt of Valor® (QOV) is a quality, handmade quilt that is machine or hand quilted. It is awarded to a Service Member or Veteran who has been touched by war. The Quilt says unequivocally, “Thank you for your service and sacrifice in serving our nation.”

We need your help! We are asking your help in any or all the following:

The quilts are made by local groups and presented to service members and veterans in the area.

More info:
  • A Quilt of Valor does not have to be red, white, and blue, but patriotic colors are extremely popular with recipients. Panels can provide a great focal point and bring in other colors. Think creatively with the recipient in mind.
  • Recommended size: is 60" x 80"; minimum: 55" x 65"; maximum: 72" x 90".
  • Use quality, adult-appropriate, 100% cotton, quilt-weight fabrics.
  We are so grateful for Blocks and help donated so far! We have 1 Finished quilt donated, 1 quilt top and over 50 blocks to date from which we've made 3 additional quilt tops.
