Good for you. I love it. I'm just finishing up my first one. Still haven't decided whether to make one from my scraps. I don't like it when charities ask for more once I've given what I committed to. I understand it's for a good cause, but where does it end. Haven't made up my mind yet. I suppose that makes me a grinch. But I have very much enjoyed the quilt I made from the kit they sent, and it's been a great opportunity to practice my fmq.

If you can't give, (time, energy, money, etc.), out of love, don't do it. Charities must ask for help in order to help others.[/quote]
Judithb--That's a very good way to look at it. I give out of love in many ways and for many causes. I've made one of these quilts, and I've asked them to send me another kit to make another. I was just a little put off when the first kit came asking me to return another one in addition to the one I was already making. I have a hard time saying 'no' and so I don't like being put in a position where I have to say it. But I like the "out of love" test. It makes it easier for me to know where I stand and to make a decision about how much is enough and how much is too much.
