Home of the Brave Quilt Project -- State of Oregon
This is a nationwide project whose mission is to provide a replica of a US Sanitary Commission Civil War quilt to the mothers, or other family members, of every soldier lost in the war in Iraq or Afghanistan. The pattern for Oregon is a very simple Album Cross "X", and measures 48" x 84" the same size as the Civil War Soldiers bedrolls, as well as the cots used in field hospitals. Quilters made more than 250,000 quilts for soldiers leaving for the battlefield and only five of these quilts are known to have survived. Sometimes the quilts were auctioned to raise funds for the U.S. Sanitatary Commission which later became known as the American Red Cross. For information on participating see our shop display or go to www.oregonhomeofthebrave.org
