Thanks guys - because of you the 1st of what is going to be 9 blankets for the homeless in Denver is completed! That's right - I've got enough blocks to make 9 good-sized afghans. Right now there's a team of us busily double crocheting around each block and joining them together - but I thought I'd post a couple of pics of the first one.

Do you see your blocks in the pic?? If not - it's because they will be used in one of the other 8.

Thanks again to a great group of guys for all your donations of time, yarn, and skill. Each block is unique and BEAUTIFUL!

If any of you are involved

If any of you are involved with Habitat for Humanity groups, one of these "stained-glass" style blankets make a great housewarming gift from the sponsoring organization. One of my prayer shawl groups does one for each house that its church builds.
