- Fabric used should be high quality 100% “shirt-weight” or “quilt-weight” cotton fabric
appropriate for adults. - Quilts of Valor do not have to be red, white, and blue. Patriotic and Americana themes are
popular. - Patterns and blocks can be of any design suitable for visually honoring and comforting a
service member or veteran. - Use of military-branch-specific fabrics (Army, Navy, etc.) or non-“patriotic” fabric (overly
floral), unless the recipient is known in advance, may create difficulty in matching with a
service member or veteran.
