Am I not reading correctly? What size do they want the blocks? I know I am tired and it is probably right in front of my nose, but I just didn't see a size posted. Oh, Jeez, I didn't scroll down far enough! It is time to go in and get a hot shower and start again tomorrow!. Ann in TN

I know my husband is one of them and being given even a quilt to lay over them reminds them of being in a coffin draped with a flag! Which causes MAJOR setback in recovery from this horrible disorder.
Moda should have a little tack and realize this or at least ask questions first.
Sorry for my interruption I am sure many of you will send blocks anways, just wanted to put the truth out there!

My husband was a Marine in Vietnam, has ptsd, and thought the project was a lovely idea. The patriotic colors are to signify the country they served, and that country thanking them for their service.
