The quilts are now all in Blacksburg! A very kind VT alum living here in Connecticut was happy to drive them down to Blacksburg last weekend. A huge thanks to Bob for his help with that last, and very important, step in this lengthy process!

Before being delivered to the Office of Recovery and Support, the quilts will be on display for the following weekend only. They will appear at the Blacksburg Church of Christ on Saturday, September 27 from 10am - 4pm and on Sunday, September 28 from 2pm - 5pm. I am indebted to Carolyn Moore for her efforts in arranging this display.

I'd also like to direct your attention to a terrific article about our project published in The Roanoke Times this weekend. Happy reading, everyone! (By the way, the top for the Northern Illinois University quilt is finished, but not yet quilted. I'll post a photo when it's ready.)

I am incredibly pleased to share with you these photographs of the finished quilts. The first 32 quilts are labelled for specific families; these are shown below in alphabetical order, followed by the remaining 32 quilts, which the university will distribute randomly to the injured survivors. (Note: I'm working on rotating quilts 16 and 32 - sorry about the quirk.) The final quilt for the Cho family is shown last.

In the next few weeks, I will be preparing a photobook with all of the finished quilts, plus a few images of certain blocks, assembly gatherings, and assorted other things. Please email me if you would like information about ordering a copy for yourself or your guild library.

And now, with no other comments, the photographs:
