The free memorial quilt was launched in August and now has over 490,000 "patches".  

The enormous quilt measures more than 30 miles long on each side and large enough to blanket 14,285 beds, and nears its completion in just a few months' time. But no fabric, thread or needles has been used to create it. Instead, people from all 50 states and many countries around the world have sent millions of "patches" through Cyberspace to make the world's first online memorial quilt.

The quilt is hosted as a public service by the AmericanGreetings.com network of sites. It is sponsored by America Online and MSN, and allows anyone with Internet access to pay tribute to the strength and resiliency of the United States, and the heroes of Sept. 11 by creating quilt patches overlaid with personal messages. The site is located at http://www.911memorialquilt.com .
