​​​2025-2026 Quilts of Valor 

​Learn more about Quilts of Valor at: https://qovf.org

Our Guild produces about 25 completed quilts of valor every year. We typically host a Quilt of
Valor Presentation Ceremony the first Wednesday in November. This takes the place of our
November meeting. To nominate a deserving Veteran or active Service Member, please see the
attached nomination form. While we can award a QOV at any time and any place, if you want
your nominee to receive a QOV at the November Presentation Ceremony, completed
nominations must be received no later than September 30th .

​

Remember…. a Quilt of Valor is an award, not a gift. The recipient must agree in advance to receive it.

Producing Quilts of Valor is an ongoing process throughout the year. Piecing blocks, tops,
quilting tops, binding, labels, and washing completed quilts are tasks for which volunteers are
needed!  Please contact Louise or Lydia if you are willing to do any task.

BLOCKS -  The Annual Quilt of Valor block is available below.  This year it is the Log Cabin
Block. We will be making this block through December 2025, after which a new annual block
will be posted in January 2026.
All members are asked to help us make more quilts for the coming year by making a block or
two. We usually have block “kits” available for pick up at every meeting. Bring back completed
blocks at the next meeting or to a QOV workshop. 

TOPS - We usually have about 3 QOV workshops every year to put together quilt tops and
prepare backing and batting. Be sure to watch for workshop announcements. The QOVF
website has patterns you can download.

​Machine Quilters are always needed! We usually have quilt tops to match with machine
quilters!  Please contact us if you are willing to take a top this coming month.

PRESENTATION CASES accompany each Quilt of Valor. Made like a pillow case, presentation
cases are used to keep the Quilt of Valor or as a pillow case as needed. Instructions for making
cases are available below.
