For several months, 14 Cody Middle School students worked every Friday morning in their enrichment class to create intricate, patriotic quilts. On Memorial Day, they presented their final projects to four local veterans to thank them for their sacrifice and service. The Cody Enterprise reports the students chose the patterns and material, then measured, cut and sewed the quilts together to prepare for the long-arm quilter. The quilts are part of the official Quilts of Valor national program, meaning they must be a specific size, have a label with required information and be awarded and recorded.
