Quilt blocks for charities...
I'm looking for a web site that solicits crocheted squares to be made into
"quilts". My 98 year old mother is looking for something constructive to do with her time. She has been crocheting "hangers" for family but wants to do something more. I know I ran across a site for this once but can't seem to find it again. It gave instructioins to chain 28 then do single crochet...making a block 7 in. x 9 in. Anyone know of that site? TIA -- ....Carol in MO |

I did one like that for Project Linus.
I made squares in baby wool, lined it and backed it with some very soft brushed cotton/flannel. PJ said that crocheted things were fine as long as they were not 'holey'. Therefore I used a smallish hook. I think the instructions you mention would actually be fairly holey unless you were using very thick yarn. ..

Thanks, Patti. We will use stitches that are compact and "warm."
