OMG~ They loook great and somebody did a lovely border all around them.. I wonder was it knitted or crocheted? It did a great job of tying all the different patterns together~!

OMG~ I watched the Billy Graham tv special about viginia tech.. I was encouraged and saddened at the same time...
It was so bittersweet to remeber all those who were lost and how one life affects another... I am comforted somewhat by the fact that I made some small change to ease someone else's pain..
thanks for this thread~

Did you see they have over 4500 squares! I think the original goal was something like 2000. It makes me proud to be a knitter and know that when someone is doing a great project like this others knitters will go out of there way to help.

Is anyone going to the seaming party next week? I am still trying to work it out, but if I can come it would be great to meet some other KHers.

Thank you for sharing those pictures. It makes me feel great to see the progress and to know I was able to donate 4 squares for these families. I'm also glad to hear they will be making blankets for the survivors as well
