They are 36x60 they fit on the liters that the soldiers are placed on to be transferred to Germany or Italy.

just a tip/fyi.

NEVER make a quilt that looks like a flag that you intend to donate to an injured soldier. Flags are draped over the top of caskets and just the thought of being under the flag is very "uneasy" for many soldiers. Better to put those fabrics into a beautiful block quilt!

I'm with you justwannagquilt no flag quilts or colors. They would make a solider uncomfortable. Best to ask group what colors should be used.

We don't make flag quilts but most of them are patriotic and the soldiers love them. Most don't want to use. Hang them on wall so they can take home. Tell us all the time how much they are appreciated and loved. They don't seem to realize people care until they get a blanket.
