You are so right about that! It would look great! Thank you so much, fraydknot12326!!!

What fun -- a full box you found!! It's super fast! I even used leftover HST's already made up so just picked out my favorite pairs! Can't beat that for a quick gift!

That is such a good way to recycle....I don't think I would have ever thought of that!

n2scraplvr:, This is so very beautiful. I so appreciate you doing this for (Children's Heart Disease CHD) Foundation. This as you know is a new foundation getting on it's feet. It will help parents have food while staying with their very sick child in another town. One would think all would just have money for food, it does not usually work that way. So very sad. I am blessed you have chosen to be a part of making this a reality... Not many trust new foundations. WE so thank you very very much. http://www.samuelserenashope.com/
I am only one person here quilting, Some have so graciously sent materials and some baby quilts, along with runners, your wall hanging will blend in so beautifully. For those who sent material, I may not be able to post a made quilt this round, but there will be other auctions and sales throught the year and I will be kept busy using all that was given from their hearts. WE really are blessed.
n2- I hug you from my heart. praise the Lord for your kindness. ((((hugs)))

Cute idea. I had many of these towels that I stored away and just last year I made a king size quilt using mine. Some were different sizes, so I had to cut some but, it started with 1987 through 2010. It is very different, but has a special meaning, because these were gifts from family members.
