My cousin's 6 yr old grandson has been diagnosed with leukemia. We live too far away to help with fundraisers, shopping, cleaning etc. So I'm hoping this will help him out. His school principal, teachers and classmates signed some of the blocks to get him started. There is plenty room for more names and signatures! I used lots of kid prints and bright colors. Sure hope it brightens his day! Mailing it to him tomorrow.

Having spent a lot of time in the hospital with my 6 year old grandson I know how much well loved items mean to child and family. Also a great item for Doctors and nurses (and visitors, when allowed) to sign. Prayers for all.

What a sweet thing to do for your cousin's grandson, and what a perfect quilt for him. He will so enjoy gathering names for his cheerful, colorful quilt. You did a beautiful job, and Eddie did as well. I pray God will bless that little 6 year old with a complete recovery. Blessings to you all.
