    Go to google or yahoo and type in Operation quiet comfort. They work with the any soldier group. they accept small lap quilts and give you the supplies to make the larger denim quilts. You have to join the group and follow their specifications. hope this helps

    Here are 2 websites that accept quilts for our troops. You can either send a completed quilt or just the quilt top & they will finish it. They are offshoots of Quilts of Valor:

    http://www.persimmonquilts.com/index.html

    http://alyciaquilts.blogspot.com/sea...or%20Challenge

    The official QOV website is here:

    http://www.qovf.org/

    Just think - if everyone on this forum donated 1 quilt to our troops, what an impact we would have!!! You are a wonderful person for donating your quilt. Would love to see a picture of it.

    Operation Quiet Comfort has a great need for liter quilts. I have 20 started. Need to get busy and quilt them. Afganistan is having very a large amount of injuries.

    There is also the Wounded Warrior organization and Quilts of Valor groups all over the place. Please check them out as well.

    What are liter quilts? Are they a certain size?
