When checking out some of the blogs that I follow, I found a link to a project by Moda for the soldiers in Afghanistan.
http://www.unitednotions.com/LA_just_one_star.pdf If you would like to take part in this, go to the website and download all the information and the pattern. Sounds like a delightful thing to do for our servicemen. I will make one and get it off this week. You might mention this to your quilting buddies in case they don't get the blog checked out.
