Does anyone here know where QOV kits can be bought? I think that will be my best bet
Congrats to your Guild and Welcome Aboard the QOV Train. I am a QOV quilter. Not sure about QOV Kits, but check out the FACEBOOK group "Quilts of Valor Stars" as they have a ton of patterns under the Files tab, as does the QOV page. Just look at all the various quilts that have been awarded and you'll see that the sky is the limit.
www.persimmonquilts.com/ has a bunch of free patterns as well and mystery quilts if you like those. My QOV group just uses R/W/B fabric and uses any pattern they like. You'll do just fine. Just lay your colors out and see what pleases your eyes.
Also, every year the QOV has a Block of the Year. That will help you too.
