If you are interested, please read the specifics carefully:
I am requesting that you make a maverick star block. There is a tutorial here.
I would like the blocks to be made from red, white and blue fabrics. (or red and white, or blue and white, or red and blue....you get the idea.) If you use white, it doesn't necessarily have to be the background color.
Please Please PLEASE make sure that the final block measures 12.5" unfinished. If the block is not 12.5", I reserve the right to alter the block or to omit the block all together. I'm not trying to be mean here, but I don't want to struggle to assemble the tops with various sizes of blocks. I've been there, done that and nearly pulled my hair out.
I would like the blocks to be mailed back to me by the end of September. I realize that is not a lot of time, but if you are like me, a deadline is good. And a short deadline is even better. :)
Anyone interested? Questions? If so, please leave me a comment which includes your email address. Thanks in advance!

This is perfect for me. I was just asking on Flickr the other day what everybody does with all these quilts we make and someone had suggested Quilts of Valor and I always intended to learn to make the Maverick star so this will be my first attempt. Thanks for starting this!
Oh! I can do this, I can make one star piece, totally doable, and not at all overwhelming! What a wonderful and inspiring project.

Quick question...I press my seams open because I think it makes my blocks neater. I know a lot of quilters don't do that, though. Do you have a preference?

jeribonser@yahoo.com
And, when you wrote your previous post on quilt shop fabric, I immediately thought of QOV. I had wanted to make a quilt for them a year or so ago, but was kind of turned off by the instructions on their site. It made me feel like my quilts weren't good enough for their charity. I could just start with one block, though!
i can do one
nicolemott@yahoo.com
Looks like you have lots of people, but if you have a back up list I would love to be on it :)
I would be willing to be a back-up as well.

Looks like you have enough to make two quilts. Wow!
Looks like you might full-up already, but if you need more I'll get a block or two out to you.
I will make a square.
sarah_sturtevant@hotmail.com
At this rate you will have a ton of quilts. I'd love to help too.
Do you need backing fabric or batting? I'd love to donate if you need these things too.
pcarroll@embarqmail.com
What about quilting? I know QOV has other volunteers who can do that, but I have access to a 20 ft. Long Arm machine and batting, and it might be fun to post pictures of the finished quilts?
I would love to help! jenn @ jennicakes.com.

I'm not too good at those crazy stars so how about I send you two spools of your favorite thread so you can sew all these marvelous generous blocks together???
I would love to make a block too! Let me know if you need more blocks, I will make one and send it to you!

One day later....Oh yeah, my email: katcastaldi@sbcglobal.net
Amanda,
Just realized I never left my e-mail address: nanci@moment.net
Looks like you have plenty of volunteers, but count me in if you want to make a 3rd or 4th quilt! :)
caroline(dot)emay(at)gmail(dot)com
fantastic call-to-help!! i make QOV's and ship them off to wounded sailors (no pun intended!) and am using my august block swaps to put together more quilts. i'm usually the only one making all of it, so the swaps have helped out.
it looks like i read my blogger roll a little later than most, but if you still need more blocks (even though you have 100+ responses already) i'd be glad to make one. just let me know.
Same here, Amandajean. I have been wanting to donate a quilt to QOV too. I would love to make a block to send to you. You seem to have more than enough volunteers so let me know if you want my help anyways. :)
I'd love to help as well.
andyknowlton@gmail.com
Sounds like fun, and looks like you may get way more than 59 so I'll pass. I've got to get caught up on my 9-patch quilt along. :) Can't wait to see them when you are all done.
I'm in if you still want one or two!!!! Janet greencheek@nycap.rr.com
It looks like you have more than plenty, but I'd love to do one, too. Leslee
rlbyington@msn.com
It looks like you have plenty of blocks coming your way. If you want to do another quilt...or have a back up list...count me in. I would love to help.
From the wife of an active duty servicemember...Thank you for doing this. It is a GREAT cause.
Dani
danithaxton@yahoo.com
Looks like you have lots of volunteers to piece blocks, So how about if I volunteer to quilt them on my longarm. Then you can do the binding and deliver them to your shop. Oh yes, I also have plenty of batting here to cover that part too.
You already have my email addy.
Great idea calling out the troops for this united effort. I can make a block if you still need more...
How about I send some backings and batting.
Lissa
alexander.lissa@gmail.com
are you sure your nickname isn't Tia?? I'd be glad to make one!
Looks like you may already have enough. But if you still need another block, I'd love to do one!
where do we mail the squares?
Beryl
I guess you probably have enough but if not let me know. I'm on a wonky star kick at the moment anyway.
