Soldier Quilts
Q.U.I.L.T.S. members have also been working to make quilts for our injured soldiers returning home from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The donated quilts, made by individual members and friendship groups, are shipped to Andrews AFB and Bethesda Naval Hospital where they are distributed to injured soliders. Since our Guild became involved in this effort in 2004, our members have made and donated over 150 quilts to our service men and women. The quilts made thus far have been beautiful, colorful quilts with mainly patriotic themes.
General Guidelines for Soldier Quilts:
Size: Minimum: 40” x 60” Maximum: Twin (These are the most useful sizes, but we do not reject any donations.)
Fabric, Colors & Design: Washed 100% cotton fabric. Red/White/Blue are the colors of choice, but any are accepted. The quilt pattern and design is entirely up to you.
Label: We ask that you let us know the names of all those who worked on the project and upon receipt of the first quilt, we will acknowledge receipt by sending a flag lapel pin to each who participated.
