I don't know about QOV. I do know that a guild I belonged to made several quilts to take to Jefferson Barricks (for US vets) here in St. Louis, not all of them were in the red, white and blue fabric category. One older man came and asked if he could have a quilt, an WWII veteran. When told they only had one quilt left, but it was pink, he said he would be honored to take it. I think it's best to honor your own community first and not mail your quilts out.
