One of my son's friends from Boy Scouts was in a serious motorcycle accident last week and is currently in a coma with severe brain damage. The extent will not be known until he wakes up. We are hopeful that this young man will wake up. My son wants to get his group of Scouts (the 2012 Phoenix patrol) together to make a small quilt for A. A was his Troop Guide when Gus crossed into the troop (A is 20 or 21 now, Gus is 14 now) and taught him a lot of the basics in scouting.

We are in that feeling helpless and not sure how best to help stage. I've got ideas for a hospital bed sized quilt to make for him when he wakes up. Gus wants to do something on a smaller scale and does want it to be his and his friends' work.

Thanks, K
