Welcome to Quilts of Valor® Foundation’s 2026 National Block Drive! Your block donations help support our mission to cover every military veteran and active service member with a Quilt of Valor made especially for them.
Echoes was selected as the 2026 Block of the Year and was designed and written by Nancy Cann. Click here for the instructions and color requirements. An Echoes Tutorial is available to watch here where Nancy Cann demonstrates step-by-step instructions for creating the 2026 Block of the Year.
Along with the Echoes Block Instructions, we are featuring six patterns to help you create your Echoes Quilts: Echoes – Flags, Echoes – Stamps, Echoes and Chisel Star, Echoes and Floating Pinwheel, Echoes and Puss in the Corner and Echoes and Wave.
For more information please head to our National Block website page. If you have any questions while working on your blocks, please email blockdrive@qovf.org.
Sharing Your Block Photographs and Videos
Consider tagging Quilts of Valor Foundation on social media and using #QOVFNationalBlockDrive2026, #QOVF2026Block, or #QOVFechoesBlock with your Echoes posts. If you are not on social media, you can submit a photograph or video to marketing@qovf.org.
To submit an article and photos for possible inclusion in our Threads newsletter, please send them to newslettersubmission@qovf.org.
Without the support of our members, and the many individuals, guilds, and organizations who share our mission, we would not be as far along in our goal of awarding Quilts of Valor® to veterans and active-duty service members.
Thank you all for your continued support.
