100 quilts in 100 days!

A HUGE thank you to the hundreds of quilters, sewers, binders, ironers, sorters and organizers that have all volunteered their time for Moda's Just One Star Program. As of June 14th we have met our goal of 100 quilts in 100 days. The generosity has been overwhelming. I am personally moved by the generosity of quilting community. The notes and letters have touched us with the stories. I know that the soldiers that receive these quilts will also be moved by the time, talent and love that have gone into each of these quilts.
We have received blocks from all over the world for this event totally at this point 12,000 blocks. This event has grown much bigger than we could have ever imagined and we owe each of you the participated a big thank you.
 We could not have done it without you.
We will be posting updates regarding additional quilts and the distribution of quilts and blocks
 here, so check back for additional details.

    Awesome is what comes to mind - beautiful photo, as I have said:
    Great companies, have great people on board and they do "great" things, this is the perfect example. As always, it makes me proud to be part of this great company.

    Wow! That is awesome. To think that little scraps of fabric from all over the country, stitched up with a whole lot of love... became that mountain of quilts!

    Thanks for putting this together, I know we at the Vegas Modern Quilt Guild were proud to support this great cause.

    They look beautiful! I thought they were going to use the "Flag of Valor" pattern for these quilts. It doesn't look like these have the rows of floral fabric between the rows of stars. I'm sure they look great....just wondering what the quilts actually look like!

    Fabulous job! So many people contributed to this project, it was awe-inspiring. Thank you to everyone involved, and to our self-less men and women in the military who protect our country.

    I was at my Tuesday group today and one of the ladies brought in the advertisement
    from "Just One Star" thanking all who had participated. On close inspection we saw our name " Ladies on the Edge of the Sea " listed with all the names in the background. We were all so happy and pleased to see our name there. It was our pleasure to help in this project and thank you for doing this for our soldiers.
    Sincerely, Joan E.
