Thank you for saying what I have been thinking all morning. The misunderstanding certainly needed a thorough explanation such as yours. A little understanding goes a long way.
My brother was wounded while serving in Saudi Arabia. He went on to serve in Baghdad and Germany. He continues to serve stateside as a civilian. I shudder to think that what all these men and women of our armed forces have done for us, to be given a QOV and then have the quilt not last the rest of their lives. There is meaning behind those quilts. Their memories will last a lifetime, the quilts are a means of comfort and should help get them through it all. May God Bless all the wonderful people for their time and talents to a worthy cause.

I'm glad I could clear things up some. You just asked a question, nothing wrong with that :wink: . The QOV guidelines could have been clearer, but there is already so much information on their website that they were probably trying to simplify things.

Actually, the information and explanations *are* all on the site; the specific url cited is to a page that is a just a quick summary of the guidelines. I think that page is meant to be a quick reference sheet for people who know the general reasons but just need a quick answer to a speicific question about design, materials, etc.
