there are different (ribbon colors) for different cancers- i made one one year that had a different colored ribbon in each block in a 24 block sampler---it brought a good amount at the relay for life raffle...
any quilts with love, hope and strength are wonderful-comforting cancer quilts...does not have to be a pink quilt
if you visit the American Cancer Society web site you will find all the ribbon colors- and what cancer they represent- and lots of good information- links- programs...ways to make a difference....
good place to visit
