I can't even express how coordinating this Military Barracks Quilt Project, for instance, has blessed me beyond imagining! And every time I receive a top or ship a box of quilts (one going today to Afghanistan) I pray that the makers of these quilts -- members of this board -- will be wonderfully blessed as well.
Your project sounds so nice and has inspired me to look into the same thing here in my area. Happy dance for you all!

I haven't been doing quilts, although I hope to, but that is how I feel about the rag dolls I make for kids with cancer and other devestating illness. More blessed to give then to receive. God bless all the givers that look to help others less fortunate.
