The final summary is in! We are well on our way toward
300,000 service members and veterans being awarded a Quilt of Valor—one quilt
and one recipient at a time—thanks to YOU!
You also ‘counted what counts’ and here is the final
summary
- Over
4,100 of you—more than double of last year—volunteered to sew,
quilt (longarm or machine quilt), cut, press, and beyond!
- About 3,000 represent almost one-third of the current QOVF
membership
- About 1,000 represent first-time volunteers
- You
represented the entire United States as well as Australia and Canada

final ‘counts’ reported as of February 19:
- Tops: 617.5
- Quilts: 276
