Just One Star



On Tuesday, March 15, the flags of the United States of America will fly at half-staff in memory of Mr. Frank Buckles, the last of the US Soldiers who fought in the War to End All Wars. How grand that folks of that time thought it would be the last war, not the first World War. As we send more men and women into harms way under new and devastating circumstances, there is something we can do on the home front to attempt to alleviate some of the suffering.


Make just one quilt block.


Moda Fabrics is coordinating an effort to create quilts for soldiers who are wounded in action. Read about it HERE.

Tomorrow, I will make a star. In memory of Mr. Buckles.

I will make one star in memory of Cpl. Frank Britt, WWII US Army. My Daddy.

I will make one star in memory of Lt. Jessie Alice West Britt, WWII US Army. My Mom.

I will make one star in honor of Sgt. Brian Rozick, USAF/180th Fighter Wing. My Friend.

I will make one star in honor of Gen. Mark Bartman, USAF/Ohio Air National Guard. My Friend.

For whom will you make
just one star?

  1. Ranger Anna, I'm not a "quilter", I'm not sure where the seam is sewn? is it half inch seams? I'm following your lead here.... just need a little help and don't see the seam measurement on the instructions. Should have quilting stars for dummies page... I'd sign right up! Your assistance would be appreciated!
    Blessings to all, JAFO
