Home of the Brave and Quilts of Valor.
 |
Home of the Brave Quilt Project is a grass roots movement to honor America's war dead. In gratitude for their service and sacrifice, we are making quilts to be presented to the next of kin of Minnesota servicepersons who died as a result of injuries received while on active duty in Afghanistan and Iraq. |
 |
The Mission of Quilts of Valor is to provide quilts to all
wounded and injured service members from the war on terror.
Presently, our Quilts of Valor community has delivered over
15,000 quilts.

"QOV Medallion" Pieced and quilted by Beth Kobliska 65" x 80" "A simple design that looks more complex than it is simply by changing the colors to form a medallion in the center, setting blocks on point, and making the corners blend into the outer border. This quilt will be donated to Quilts of Valor after the quilt show."

"Carpenter's Star" Pieced and quilted by Beth Kobliska. 70" x 80" "Made for Quilts of Valor, using one very large block to make the center of the quilt top. Since the pattern is square, I added top and bottom pieced borders to make the quilt rectangular, which is better for using on a bed. This quilt will be donated to Quilts of Valor after the show." |
