Reading through all your replies has so cheered me up. It's nice to know i'm not alone.
It's been a rough week, my husband's best friend died Thursday from Cancer. A few months back I made him a simple jelly roll race quilt with no borders just to keep him warm. He and his wife both said they loved it...it really made me feel good. On a recent visit to see him they were using it so that also made me feel really good.
You are all wonderful and I thank you for your kind thoughts!
