Thanks, Lynn, I appreicate your reply, I will trying that on the next QFK from my own stash and will see how that works for me. You ladies have been really helpful for me. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

CJ, you will love what they send and as a work-friend of mine states it will be hard to let go of it, but, it's to help some child get well, or some child to defeat battarment. It represent LOVE, sorry I got on my soap-box. Enjoy working on it. I did.

Very well put, Cherry! I have 3 ready to mail back to them this week and I try to think about the child that's going to get them and hope they feel loved when they get it. :)

Eddie, I work just a little slower than you, I am starting the one from my stash and I am even looking forward to working on that one so that I can once again display my LOVE to those children. The 'battarment issues', is something that I've been exposed to, that issue is close to home. So let's show all the LOVE we can.

you can request several at a time (quilts for Kids) I have three in my first shipment. Got it tuesday , have finished one and have started the second. They give you 4 to 6 weeks to finish just one. They are very easy to put togeather, but as a few others here i'm not very good at machine quilting YET! I will be some day, mean while I just stitch straight lines and do the edges in a blanket stich.
