Our Illiana Quilts of Honor Chapter will also make available twelve (12) Quilts of Honor for an Illiana Veteran's Day EventALL submissions will be given serious consideration and final determination made by July 31, 2024, and the announcement made October 1, 2024.

Since the inception of QOH - more than 9,000+ Quilts of Honor have been created by loving and caring hands of Volunteers throughout our country to honor and Thank our Combat Veterans for their sacrifice and service for our country.  "Our hope is that these quilts will provide comfort, love and healing to those who have given so much."
