Quilt of Valor, Trip Around the World
 
1 Attachment(s)
I just put the last border on this Trip Around the World quilt, which will be a Quilt of Valor after I get it sandwiched and quilted.

I think it turned out rather well, and I hope the veteran who gets it likes it. Does anyone know if a vet gets to select his/her quilt or is that decision made by someone else?

Thank you for remembering our service men. They come back often with physical problems as well as with mental and emotional issues. My son has been out the service several years and is just now appearing somewhat normal after dealing with PTSD. Unfortunately, PTSD is never "cured". It strikes at unexpected times.

How kind and thoughtful of you to make such a beautiful quilt. It will mean a lot to someone.

Your quilt is lovely. Thank you for putting your time and efforts and fabrics into such a beautiful cause. The Veteran who receives this will treasure this for many wonderful naps or nights of sleep for sure.

I love it. I would of never thought of that pattern for a Qov but you hit it right on the mark. Your quilt is beautiful and who ever gets it will be brought to tears with graditude. Well done.

Very nice quilt for a good cause.

Beautiful quilt, and thank you for making it for a veteran. I think different organizations have different processes for distributing the quilts. I have read that some get to choose.

cresseyriver 08-23-2015 03:43 AM

My husband received a Quilt of Valor and they simple walked up and were handed a quilt which was beautiful and now treasured. Maybe some places do it differently.

twinkie 08-23-2015 04:58 AM

That is beautiful. Some service member will be thrilled with this one.

Wanabee Quiltin 08-23-2015 06:03 AM

I just love it!

It came out beautifully.

I am in a QOV group and generally, the vet does not get to choose their quilt. Sometimes, a member of the QOV group can pick one out for a particular vet (if they know one they want to give it to), but the recipient cannot choose. The quilts are made, labeled, and presented by the QOV group.

GloriaC 08-23-2015 03:55 PM

Beautiful job.!!! Love it!!!

What a beautiful quilt any service person would be proud to receive this beauty.

Okay, thanks. I was just curious. I sort of think my quilts end up being non-traditional and they might not be for everyone... I am just gong to assume that whoever ends up with it likes it. :)

Beautiful. Also Thank you! Our local chapter selects the veterans who receive a quilt.But the quilts are handed out at random. But if there is a quilt with say , Snoopy in a airplane it will go to a Air Force vet.Thought will be give to things like that, or if there is a female vet and someone has made a quilt more suited for a lady.I have not ask my friends if you make a quilt and want a certain vet to receive it, if that request is honored. Hope this answered your question. But thank you again, and everyone else who take their time this for wonderful project.
