Just Sew's First Quilt Challenge for Charity
We challenge you to make a patriotic quilt! Here's how it works:
Charity information:
This challenge is to benefit "Honor Flight," an organization that is dedicated to honoring those who have served our country. One of the main ways they do this is by assisting veterans in flying to Washington D.C. to visit memorials and monuments dedicated to their service and sacrifice.

* The reason the top must be unfinished, is because 4 months is too short a timeframe for some people to get their quilts quilted. If some quilts were quilted and others not, it might give some an unfair advantage. We also want to ensure you are using a new quilt top, and not one previously made.
