The mystery quilt patterns in this site are specifically for use in creating a Quilt of Valor (QOV®). Each pattern uses 5 sets of instructions. Each week of the mystery event a new set of instructions will be posted on this website with a view of the completed quilt at the end of the last step. Click on the PATTERN button at the top of the page below the picture of the quilt to select the current mystery or any of the past mysteries - all are available for free to use to make QOVs.
Each participant will be responsible for creating QOVs from their own fabric stash. It will be the quilter's responsibility to complete the quilt top and see that the quilt is completed and awarded. This can be done in several ways: - complete the quilt and award it to a service member or veteran that you know - donate the quilt or quilt top to a local QOV group - donate through the national QOV website (below) so that it may be awarded somewhere else
If you will be awarding this QOV yourself, remember to report the awarded QOV on the QOVF website so that the number of quilts awarded nationally can be tracked accurately. QOV website click here > (www.qovf.org)
