    I came across this and it sounds wonderful. Minick & Simpson from Moda and the Semper Fi Fund are doing this for our Soldiers....they are asking all quilters to donate 1 block from the pattern (see link), you write your name & State on the block and then send to Moda, they'll square up blocks and assemble the quilts & distribute to wounded soldiers. What a great idea!
    Here's the link for the pattern: http://www.unitednotions.com/LA_just_one_star.pdf

    Let's all try to do 1 block!

    Blessings,
    MaryAnna

    I will do one and I'm going to ask the ladies I quilt with on Tuesday to each do one also.
    Thanks for letting us know about this project.

    count me in too. I printed out the pattern so I can take it with me to the store to get material. Can't find my red or blue. Only found a little that I was going to send to miss gigglewings and haven't done it yet.

    thanks for bringing this noble project to our attention. I'll have a block made soon & will ask my fellow quilters to participate also.

    Thanks for posting the link - I'll even take it to guild and ask if anyone wants to help.

    Knowing how giving quilters are - I'll bet they end up with more than 100 quilts!
