Love the red, white and blue

PORT ROYAL — Five young heads bent over a scrap of fabric on Tuesday as the girls signed their names on it. It was the next-to-last step in completion of a Quilt of Valor, which will become a gift to a wounded soldier. The last step was to sew on the label before it was shipped off to its recipient. The girls — Kristen Gray, Larisa Harling and Mamie Harling, of Port Royal, and Carly Burns and Hannah Hunsberger, of Mifflintown — spent about two months of their Saturday afternoons and spare time to piece and construct the quilt, under the tutelage of their 4-H leader, Suzanne McNeal, of Port Royal . The Quilt of Valor project was worked into the curriculum of the Harlings, who are homeschooled, so they spent more afternoons sewing, McNeal said. The girls helped to select the fabrics for the quilt — three red, three white and three blue-patterned fabrics, but all with a patriotic theme.
