Rachel contacted the CAP organization, that goes out into the community to care for many teen moms in Appalachian Kentucky. There is a great need for warm blankets there.
Specifically, they have requested:
* Receiving-size blankets
* Blankets for swaddling (flannel, for example)
* Crib size quilts and blankets
* Child/toddler size quilts and blankets
* Twin size quilts and blankets
Please, visit her blog and look for any additional information.
I will be posting some ideas and links for free simple and quick baby quilts. I have som much fabric that was handed down to me by others. For me this is a great way to use it up.
Here are some of the links for now:

I think this is a wonderful idea...I went to Rachel's blog too. I'm going to see what I can come up with.
I didn't see the special, but this is a great idea. I actually spent two of my college-years spring breaks working on houses in rural KY with an organization similar to Habitat for Humanity, and it really is amazing how poverty-stricken the area is. Especially when I think that this is within a day's drive of where I live.
