Or I could be wrong.
When I was making QOV with a group they specifically told us NOT to make them all red, white, and blue. We made all variety of colors as there are not only male service people but also women veterans and they all have their own preferences. There were several cream/tan/brown combos and even pink and purple. It may have gotten to the thrift store with the passing of the veteran, unfortunately.
