I have been trying to find out how many quilts they made for the challenge for the Quilts of Valor that Moda had. Does anyone know?

they got over 15,000 blocks. i don't have an official word on it, but they use 18 blocks per quilt. so that works out to a potential of 833 quilts!

The goal was 100 quilts by Flag Day. They got so many more and will be making quilts for awhile. I understand that they send the fabric out to volunteers to be made into quilts.

After my experience with the Military Barracks Quilt Project here last fall, I knew when I read Moda's first projection that they were WAY off base expecting to create only 100 quilts! I mean, I'll bet they could have done that with just this board's participation, LOL, much less all across the nation!!

Sure wish I still shopped at United Notions weekly for my store so I could hear the inside info on the project. :D

That is so cool, Craftybear, Katfish and I sent in three the day of our Pizza Quilt Party-------- hope they finish them all and 833 soldiers benefit from all the love sent their way!

Their pattern is not copy wrighted, is it? Can we use that layout for our own quilts of valor?
