Quilts of Valor

The Mission of the Quilts of Valor Foundation is to cover Service Members and Veterans touched by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor.

What is a Quilt of Valor?

A Quilt of Valor® (QOV) is a quality, handmade quilt that is machine or hand quilted. It is awarded to a Service Member or Veteran who has been touched by war.  The Quilt says unequivocally, “Thank you for your service and sacrifice in serving our nation.”

To use the term “Quilt of Valor”, Quilts of Valor or QOV, the quilt must be a specific size, must have a label with required information; it must be awarded (it is not a gift) and it must be recorded.

THE RECOMMENDED SIZE IS 60 x 80.  The sizes are minimum 55 x 65 with a max of 70 x 92. (sizes are in inches).
