I finished my second square. I had good intentions and if I'd cut the right fabric the right size I think I would have been ok. I don't like the two reds so close together. I may re do it. We'll have to see.[ATTACH=CONFIG]566367[/ATTACH]

Sauki1 - I really like how you used the white to bring out the red in "blades" and how you changed the colors of your blocks for a different look!

Carrot-I really like your calico fabrics!

I'm all for anything that will give the patients some comfort.
I would start by going to your local Oncology Dept. head and talking to someone in the office as to their requirements and protocol.

The knitting group that I belong to makes preemie hats and blankets, chemo hats, comfort shawls, and recently added knitted knockers to our donations. A lady came to our group and explained the knockers and the fact that prosthetics are so heavy that these are a welcome change for women. They are washable and we leave them flat and someone at the drs offices stuffs them as needed.

My quilting guild also makes cuddle quilts for a local children's home. We donate 75-100 every year.

There are a lot of local places that one can find to donate to with a little digging around. We have a contact in the NICU that accepts our donations. Small (about 18" square) quilts would be a great addition to this.
