A while back Mary and I each made a quilt block called just one star and they were sent into the Moda company. Their goal was to get 1800 blocks, enough blocks to make 100 guilts for injured service people by flag day. I just read on the Minnick and Simpson Blog that Moda received over 12,000 blocks and not all the mail has been opened yet - they have enough right now for about 1,000 quilts!!! Moda donated all the fabric for the backings and finishing the quilts and have now recruited quilters to help finish the quilts. I am pleased that I have a block out there that is being put into one of these quilts. I wish I had a picture of my block but of course I do not.
