What lovelies this post contains, such talented people who have donated to this cause.
Such a glorious post filled with exquisite pretties made with such love. Each and every one is filled with joy and heartfelt kindness. The finished quilts will be a sight to behold filled with much beauty.
Such talent. Very difficult to choose a favorite because each square is stunning.
You're so kind to do this, Vicki!!!!!

Such a beautiful outpouring of love! Love these and how each one is different but certainly all stitched with love. My favorites are those knitted squares they look so soft and comforting. The knitted square pink with the heart, I believe she also knitted a peace sign.....that block would be perfect to base a whole blanket on. The crazy quilt blocks also steal my heart, each so interesting. Now after seeing all these I need to retread the initial post and get busy stitching!
WOW! So many, many, MANY ways to make an interesting and beautiful and heartfelt square! I'm glad this endeavor is going to continue for quite a long time, as I am just beginning a fabric-related venture and will (I hope!) be able to contribute to the Kindness Quilt Project before too long :)
Well done, everyone! Inspiring!
These blocks are absolutely pretty ♥

Hi, Vicki! It's been way too long since I visited your wonderful blog. I love this project, and I will definitely be donating to it ~ at the very least notions and supplies. And I've got lots of time before next August. Your artistry and creativity are only exceeded by your kindness and generosity. Good luck with this project!
what a beautiful collection. Such talent and generosity.
So much beauty, it's awe inspiring, Vicki.
These are just lovely. You have outdone yourself again with your generosity and contributions.
These are soo lovely, very generous contribution to cancer awareness. I've lost 2 aunts and cancer and these post of yours warm my heart and I am sure it will serve as strength to those who are battling cancer. You've given me an inspiration to try knitting again. I studied before but I don't have patience. My favorite is crocheting though.
Kind Regards,
Daisy
They are all so lovely. It's going to be a king size quilt when you are finished!
Love to you and your family.
