The project was inspired by a young Florida seaman returning from duty in Iraq who expressed a desire to honor the friends he lost. Project organizer Linda Fliss felt the quilts were a "creative way to express our patriotic spirit." Quilt squares, materials, and funds have been donated by community members and quilters around the state of Florida and beyond.
