Art/Charity Project

I am working on an art/charity project. It is going to be a knitted charm quilt, and it will be raffled off to raise money for Quilts for Kids (a non-profit charity that turns disguarded fabric into quilts for children that are terminally ill or in shelters) I have a few people that have already donated yarn scraps and I am looking for more it does not matter what weight of yarn it is but I am only going to use wool. I will be knitting 2'x2' squares and diamonds from the scraps using the Domino Knitting technique. It will be shown at various exibits around the southeast and anyone who sends yarn that is used in the quilt will be named in the map of the quilt with the yarn being noted and the name of the contribitor. I am going to be starting this over the weekend. I now have enough donated to complete 10 squares and I need enough to complete 200-300 squares. I would like to finished piece to be 40" x 40 " or 60" x 60'' depending on the number of yarn scraps that I get turned in. If you are interesting in sending some yarn for this project please e-mail me and I will send you the address where to send it. I plan on posting in progress pictures as it is being worked up. (the Sraps can be as short as 10 to 20 yards to work into either a square or triangle.) Thank you in advance for helping with this project.
