In England we've only been making Quilts Of Valour since this Christmas just gone, and have made over 100 to date. Up to now I've only been able to make 6.
At the moment these quilts are being given to the soldiers once they reach home soil, and have their name, rank, regiment and who made the quilt on the label. I've have only just finished sewing my blocks into strips and laid them on the ironing board for my next QOV.
I feel that it is a privelage to make these quilts when soldiers give so much. My son is out in the Sand Pit right now, and we had a phone call during this week for QOV for some of the lads in his Regiment.
It made me sick to my stomach!
