Our guild donates about 40 quilts per year to QofV. Some are done in bee groups, others by individuals. I make a top and pass it along to get quilted, I bind some for other folks. It is very rewarding to wrap a quilt around a service person! We have young men and women and WWII recipients, so a real mix. Our group uses other fabrics than RWB. We have done browns with tans and army green in several shades. Three of us got together and did embroidery on cream squares with green thread, and pieced shades of green alternate squares. It was very well received. Ask if your area will accept other colors. It might open up your creative channels!
