Colton's 'Blocks of Love' Quilt is Done!!!


Tonight we were given a priceless gift for Colton that we will treasure forever -- his "blocks of love" hospital blanket made of hand made squares by our friends and family. We are overwhelmed with the amount of love and support that has been shown to us and especially Colton during this difficult time. We feel so blessed that Colton is here and healthy enough to enjoy life again. We have been thrown into something we could have never imagined going through, but we will continue to fight this battle. Thank you all for helping us get through this and for all your hard work on the blanket! He absolutely loved it!!

 


 
 
 
 



 


We also want to give a HUGE thank you to Dan's sister Bonnie for coordinating all the squares, getting them sent out, and collecting all of them. There is no way this would have happened without all her hard work. Also a HUGE thank you to my Mom, Carole, for getting the border/backing and sewing all the squares together, which was a big undertaking -- we couldn't have done it without her. It was quite the project, but it will make a special keepsake for Colton. The blanket is so meaningful to our family and we really appreciate all the time Bonnie/Carole and everyone who completed squares put into it! THANK YOU!
