Determining what to quilt on a QOV can be very time consuming.  The QOV Foundation has extended an invitation to quilting pattern designers to come up with designs suitable for these wartime and historical quilts. These designs will be offered to quilters free of charge when used on Quilts of Valor.

Serving Our Soldiers (SOS) - The U.S. Government began its military campaigns in the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States. The War in Afghanistan, also known as Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), was launched in early October, 2001 against the Taliban regime.  The Iraq War, also known as Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), is an ongoing conflict which began on March 20, 2003 with the United States-led invasion of Iraq by a multinational coalition. The affects felt by the service personnel and their families are immense. In support of these courageous men, women and their families we have compiled a list of Resources that can offer help in a time of need.
