I want to make quilts for our wounded soldiers, and am having a hard time finding where to send them. I would prefer the state of Minnesota, as I don't have the money to send them out. I know of Quilts Of Valor, but their "rules" are too restricted. I want to make my quilts from jeans, and they wouldn't be accepted. Also, I like to do my own quilting, and they don't allow meandering, which is a very acceptable method of quilting.
Do any of you from Minnesota know of any other charity groups that accept quilts for wounded soldiers, and don't have the many restrictions that QOV has?

okay, I guess Minnesota has enough. if you are really wanting to help veterans, there are other states. Pick another state, or consider another way to help families of people who are serving. Look at maybe sending quilts to their families while they are away. Comfort comes in many forms.

I just Googled QOV and it doesn't exclude meandering. I'm not sure the quilt on my machine has consistent stitches in the required stitch length, but I'm going to send it. It is not red, white and blue, but not everyone wants RW&B.
