Hugggggs all, I just wanted to respond and let you all know that this unit has put out a request for help in getting the 400 quilts they need by lateish in February. They have posted on QOV site that they need help. I am making a quilt to send to Kansas to help them meet their need.
It would be great if others of you could also. They will accept tops only if you have that, and they will do the batting and quilting. I know they would appreciate any help we board members can offer! Here is the item I saw and the link if you can help. Need for Quilts of Valor in Kansas for returning unit I just read on this link I follow about a major need for help with quilts for a unit that is returning next month that has suffered major losses and trauma during it's tour of duty overseas. You can read the details here at this link: http://www.qovf.org/content/qovs-nee...y-vickers.html |

I don't have the pattern, but had to congratulate you on the wonderful job you are doing for the returning troops. 400 quilts is an amazing number of quilts to make, but I'm sure that you and your group will be able to do this. As the wife of a Viet Nam veteran, I wish there had been more recognition when the soldiers came home. They just put them on a plane and they either went back to their base or were discharged. God bless you and your group for doing this.
It's not too late to thank our vets when we have the opportunity. This is a beautiful pattern. I like the character of the one sent in at the opening of this thread better than the one on the magazine. Love the fabric. God bless America. |

"Help! I need to find the pattern for this quilt quick!!! Obviously, I used to have it because I made this one, but somehow, I've lost it. It's an older Fons & Porter pattern. We're trying to make 400 quilts for returning troops at Ft. Riley, KS and I like this pattern because it goes together very quickly, yet looks really good. Does anybody have this pattern?" Thank you! |
The pattern was located at: http://www.shopfonsandporter.com/pro...quilt-pattern/. I also received the JPEGs in an e-mail so this thread can be closed. Thank you all so much! BTW, does anyone know if I can attach JPEGs to my replies to make this pattern available? or is that not encouraged?

Hi
I'm in Littlefield, have family in Anton... The flag shouldn't be hard to replicate. Did you look for this on webshots? I've seen it in a magazine, not long ago...Fons n Porter I think... I can do up a pattern for you, if needed...in the mean time I'll see if I can't find the magazine. |
