    Am I not reading correctly? What size do they want the blocks? I know I am tired and it is probably right in front of my nose, but I just didn't see a size posted. Oh, Jeez, I didn't scroll down far enough! It is time to go in and get a hot shower and start again tomorrow!. Ann in TN

I know my husband is one of them and being given even a quilt to lay over them reminds them of being in a coffin draped with a flag! Which causes MAJOR setback in recovery from this horrible disorder.
    Moda should have a little tack and realize this or at least ask questions first.

    Sorry for my interruption I am sure many of you will send blocks anways, just wanted to put the truth out there!
    Actually, tho it bears resemblance to parts of the flag, it doesn't look like the American flag. It is supposed to be a banner, not a flag...

    My husband was a Marine in Vietnam, has ptsd, and thought the project was a lovely idea. The patriotic colors are to signify the country they served, and that country thanking them for their service.
