The Heart of America Quilt began in the aftermath of the event of 9/11 as a small quilt from Maine. Started on Sept.13 2001 to help the children of Maine heal and feel a sense of helpfulness to those that lost so much on 9/11. Within weeks of its conception, the Heart of America Quilt grew to nation level with panels from many other states. At present the Heart of America Quilt has involvement from all 50 of the United States with an addition of over 15 countries (including Iraq and India).
The quilt in a form of a United States Flag is over one half acre in size when displayed in full form. From the small project it began as, it has grown to hold names of tens of thousands of people from across the world. A community service educational program is being piloted internationally for children in all grade levels. For more information please visit www.heartofamericaquilt.com
