I already have. Would love to hear how many they have received and see some of the finished quilts.

This is a great project. Our new local quilt shop is involved in this "Accent on Quilts" in Orange City Fl.

We lost a young man (23) in our church family recently. He only had 3 more weeks until he would have been home. I think I'll ask his Mother if I can make her a quilt. God Bless Your Son and God Bless All our men and women serving. I have a niece in Iraq. This is her 3rd tour.

I love this project and have printed out the pattern to make some. My heartfelt thanks to your son and the rest of the guys/gals who have been and are in harm's way to protect our freedoms. My sympathies to all those that we have lost in this cause no matter your party affiliation, religion, skin color, sex, etc.
