Will do. We haven't gotten enough materials yet to do one completely from uniforms, but we are using them as accents in the one we're making now. I'll post it before the 24th.Skiprr wrote:Be sure to post a photo here of one or two of the first quilts when finished. I think that might give folks a better idea of the materials you need. And besides, I wanna see one.

Re: Military Quilts
Thank you Joe! I'm really enjoying this project and it's starting to get lots of support from the community. I know it is not a solution to Veteran Homelessness, but it's something I can do now while I continue my education so I can do more.joe817 wrote:Well done T.T. !!

Update: Military Quilts
We raffled the quilt tonight. It was a huge success. We made enough to provide 9 quilts for homeless Veterans.
We've also received many offers to help quilt and sew so we will be working on a kit and pattern to standardize and include others in the project. We expect to have this accomplished and tested as well as our first Veteran quilt created by the end of October.
Thank you all so much for the support the prayers and the belief in me and in this project. You are all such a blessing.
