See this is what I love about this message board all the good ideas and help!! I hadn't thought of the colorfastnest of the caps, nor had I thought of donating the caps. I would sure have hated to do this quilt for her and then have it ruined because the colors all ran. Something to reallly think about when doing something for another.
GailG, I think donating is a great idea, but not sure how well worn the caps are. I will pass the idea along for sure though. My prayers and thoughts with you, waiting is always the worst.
Thanks so much for the great ideas I really appreciate all of them!!!
