Art on the Wall at City Hall - Quilts of Valor

Galley
presentation of Quilts of Valor

A
Quilt of Valor is a generous lap-sized quilt made by an individual or
group that pieces the fabric for the front, then adds batting and
backing fabric before machine quilting. After it has been bound,
washed, labeled and wrapped in a presentation case, it is ready to be
awarded. Quilts are awarded at many different levels: they may go to
military hospitals where Chaplains award them to service members;
they are shipped down range to front line medical facilities; there
may be presentations of QOV’s to entire service units returning
from combat deployments; they may be awarded at VA’s or presented
individually. But no matter how a Quilt of Valor is given, the impact
it delivers is unequivocal.

Just
how much of an impact has the Quilts of Valor Foundation made? By the
end of 2013, 100,000 quilts will have been awarded worldwide to
service members/veterans.

So
the answer to “Why Quilts of Valor?” is this: It is a wonderful
form of National Service and anyone can do it! National Service
starts at home. Make a Quilt of Valor! To sew independently or find a
