It's Finally Done!

After months of collecting patches from departments around the country and even some from other countries, after over 240 hours of cutting, pinning, sewing, after the blood (those pins are sharp!), sweat and tears (of joy because of the cause we are doing this quilt for as well as the memories of our recently fallen)... we are proud to say that the quilt is finished!!!!



The plan is to display the quilt at a few events this summer and sell tickets. We are currently working on getting all that set up. The first event it will be displayed at is the Akron Fallen Officer Ceremony on May 6th. We will draw a winner on August 31st.

Tickets will be $5 each or 3 for $10 and all proceeds will be donated to the National FOP.

If you are interested in helping with selling tickets or have an event this summer that we could display the quilt and sell tickets at, please contact us at thinbluelinequiltproject@gmail.com

Thank you again to everyone who helped with this project whether you sent patches, cheered us on or helped us sew it, it really means a lot!
