I am doing the multiple myeloma block in the burgundy color. My mother in law battled this cancer. Before she was diagnosed I had never heard about it at all, but since then I hear it all the time.

I am doing the gold for childhood cancer. I don't have any history with this cancer, but when my children heard about our project, they were very excited to help choose, and decided that is what I should do. I think it'll be very pretty with the dark orchid!

I would like to do white for lung cancer and light blue for prostate cancer. These were the two cancers that took my mother and father.

Do you think could combine both colors in one square?

You could do a bi-color square, might be a good idea to add a note with them so people know/understand what it stands for & means to you. Or you could make 2 separate applique ribbons but sew them together so that they're 'intertwined'? that might work. I think some people here plan on donating their finished projects?

So, I was wanting to look at the puff stitch pattern. Am I just not smarter than the website? I cannot find the actual pattern. It says pattern in notes, but I don't see any notes either. Lol Grrrrrrrr!!!

There is a little blue box around the words granny square I believe you have to click on that, but you have to have a ravalry account to see it, it is free, I don't know if I can remember my sign on information

I found a block I liked, well it was a pattern drawing of a ribbon you could use the pattern for cross stitch, or fillet crochet, or the afghan stitch crochet. I was putzing around w/ it trying to figure out a way to downsize it to fit. I may attempt to crochet the whole thing before deciding, but don't think I like the look w/ the colors crocheted in, may just crochet a solid block and cross stitch the design. If I do that may have to dust off the afghan hook and look at a tutorial or two to refresh my mind haven't done that stitch in soooooo long.

Could try crocheting the color changes w/ the afghan stitch first instead of the single crochet, since I would rather not have to go back and cross stitch, decisions decisions!!!!!

Just a quick question, how committed are we all to 6x6 squares??? Anyway we would consider either an 8x8 or 9x9???

I'm cool with whatever still. Haven't actually started yet.
