 Here are the latest quilts being shipped to Mayan Families in Guatemala.  The shipment left yesterday and should be in Guatemala sometime in February or early March.  The bright quilt above is by Rosie from Seattle.  Below are two quilts from Pat B. in Idaho.

I made this quilt from some leftovers from 30(!) years ago.

This cute crib quilt is by Patti W. from Anchorage.

And the following 4 quilts are by the Lunch Bunch in Palm Desert, California. Thanks again to all who have contributed.
