One wonderful way that we as quilters can thank veterans is to make and donate quilts. Both Quilts of Valor and Quilts of Honor are wonderful organizations that work diligently to award quilts to veterans. If you know of any other organizations that serve this purpose, please leave a comment below!
We currently have two patriotic-colored collections idea for making quilts for veterans. Each collection includes a free quilt pattern; check with the organization you're working with for size requirements.
Oh My Stars! by Dover Hill Studio is chock-full of stripes, stars, and even fireworks!
Use Oh My Stars! to stitch a truly patriotic quilt: the "American Dream" quilt designed by Diane Nagle.

The Heritage collection, also by Dover Hill Studio, features mini prints in shades of red, blue and cream, reminiscent of designs from the turn of the century.
Heidi Pridemore's "American Tradition" quilt also features stars, perfect for a veteran.
