I am making comfortghans for those who have lost a family member or are going through medical problems, and I'm starting to try to get some afghans made before the holidays.  House fires seem to be quite a problem around that time so I want to have some afghans on hand for that.  I'm accepting any size of square.

I could always use all size granny squares.   I use them for the Devos children's hospital, and also I work with several other charities so if I had enough, I would use for the cancer patients as well.
