This quilt requires 4 fabrics:
The background can be light or dark. Fabrics 2 and 3 are the
main design fabrics and should contrast well against the background.
They
should be “different” colors instead of different values of the same color.
Fabric 1 should be a different value from Fabric 3. You can easily make this
scrappy by picking 4 colors and pulling scraps in those color groups.
Some possible non-patriotic combinations:

It appears that solids or small prints are preferred? Is this right? Could be blue with stars?
Shut the front door! How exciting! I will definitely try to play along!
Carol - yes! Blue with stars will work ;-)
Oh! This looks like fun! Thanks for giving me time to find just the right fabrics. I will be adding a link to this on my blog post tomorrow "Friday Finds."
Hmmm, this could be the perfect opportunity for me to start my first QOV. I'd better go take a look at the burgeoning QOV stash.....
Sounds like fun!
WOW! How exciting! Love it!
Thank you for this great opportunity to make a Quilt of Valor. I just love a good mystery!
Thank you for doing another QOV Mystery. I also did your last mystery and donated it to a WWII veteran at our annual guild quilt show in March. It was very touching.
