Hi Janetter......oh tell me about that project of yours. I'd love to make one and send it on. Someone on Ebay also is involved in making blankets for soldiers. I saved the link and am going to check it out. It's:

I dabble in crocheting as well. I managed to learn the granny square and am in the process of putting my first one together now that all the squares are done. I'm sure they would love to have quilts too, not just crocheted blankets.
