All you have to do is make 1 block from the pattern provided and mail it to Moda. Easy peasy.
Why you may ask is a Canadian getting involved in a program for American military personnel? Several reasons, one my husband is a proud American from a military region in North Carolina.
I know many wives, daughters, sisters and mothers of American servicemen and women.
And I think it's a good idea. One of the reasons I love quilting and quilts is because of the comfort they can bring.
You can support troops and honour their service, without agreeing with the politics of their mission.
I've also been inspired to look into making some for our Canadian service personnel. How about maple leaf blocks? Anyone interested?

Thank you for doing this.....I made two as well...
We were presented this opportunity on our quilt cruise first of Feb. (Lissa was cruisin' w/ us). I was so excited, I encouraged my guild and collected 19 blocks last night. Can't wait to deliver them personally!!
Awesome! Thanks for supporting the troops. I am hoping to get some sent in.
That's lovely and good for you!
I did some very small quilting in university about $@#$# years ago so I want to get back into it.
I don't know if I'm good/fast enough to participate in this project. However, I'm planning to make an easy quilt for my friend in Japan. Maybe if it's still going on I can make an extra square.
I am planning to make a few stars and love your idea of a Canadian maple leaf block.
I also made two stars ... and since you made stars for the Americans, I'll make Maple Leaves for you Canadians ... just send me pattern and I'll make and send back to you :) You're awesome Cara!
This is a beautiful project. I love the idea of a Maple leaf block!
