Many people use this pattern for Quilts of Valor or other patriotic quilts.  While we no longer give the pictogram “roll” free, we do have a down-loadable version that you can tape together.  Of course we trust you to use this offer for Quilts of Valor quilts.  See the QOV section of our website.

A few years ago a lady came to my booth and told me a wonderful story.  Her local quilt guild wanted to make quilts for the large number of men and women in their community who had been called up to go Iraq with the National Guard.  They checked to see what specifications they should follow and were told a specific size and instructed to make the quilts sand colored.  Many of the quilters, she said, stitched their “sand-colored” quilts with this pattern.  Even without red, white and blue the soldiers were able to have patriotic images of their country.  As you can imagine, my heart was warmed and my eyes teary.  Coming from a military family, it means a lot!

Another lady told of being comissioned to make a quilt in memory of a fallen soldier and had chosen this pattern to comfort the family.
