    My QS just got this fabric in. I was reading about it. Of course, I wanted to jump right in and get started.

    When it was explained to me there are several fabric makers involved so it is a large push to make these comfort quilts.

    One block at a time will include so many more of us willing to help. I mean, just one block at a time!!

    I hope many of you take this on. I can do a BOM for many months!!!
