"We Sat Down, My Husband And I With Our Children To Explain To Them In A Simple Manner What Was Going On And Why All The Grown Ups Were So Upset. And My Oldest Child, At Four Years Old, Took The Quilt That Covered Us And Pulled It Up To His Chin And Said 'Mommy I Wish We Could All Feel Like This And They Could All Feel Like This.' That Was How The Heart Of America Quilt Began And From That Moment On We Began A Small Quilt To Make The Local Children In Our Area In Maine Feel That Sense Of Helpfulness. But As Time Progressed Two Weeks Passed And We Became Actually A National Quilt With Fourteen Other States Involved."
The Quilt Is Nearly One Acre In Size.
"It Wouldn't Fit [Even] On A King Sized Bed. We're Lucky To Find A Park That Will Hold It Anymore. It Took Us Approximately Three Months To Create A Proportionate Sized Flag And From That We've Had To Double Up On Our Sizes And Continued As It Grew To The Point Now Where It's As Large As It Is."
Tens Of Thousands Of People Have Contributed To The Quilt Since Its Creation In 2001. And The Number Of Signatures Continues To Grow. For The Naval Media Center I'm Petty Officer Duke Richardson.
