I have no problem paying the psotage to get the blocks to you. Our local group does the valor project only one day a year. Friend has 2 sons in active combat zones so we have been sending ones when we get them ready to his troop. Again I'd love to be part of the group. Please go ahead and start one if you felt lead to do so.

There are a few members on this board who are involved in this Quilts of Valor project ... check thru the search function at the top of this page ... maybe a few of them could give you pointers on starting another such group ......
It might be easier to check with a local Church group or guild to help you out ...
However, for your project - What size blocks are you looking for? ... what basic colors or coordinating fabrics? Are you supplying the batting and backing ... or is this something you would prefer board members help you with? ..... Are you going to pick out the papers of paper-pieced blocks? ... are you going to do the quilting, or commission it out?
Think it through, let us know a little more, and I am sure you will get lots of help.
