Warming Hearts- One blanket at a time

As some of you know I do something every Christmas to give back. Earlier this year I started "Warming Hearts" and donated to a cancer treatment center. Well this year for Christmas I am creating blankets for an outpatient hospital here in Lakeland, FL for children with cancer. So if anyone would like to help out please let me know! You can help with squares, create blankets, or donated money to buy yarn. Everything Helps!

IF YOU WANT TO MAKE SQUARES. THE RULES: NORMAL GRANNY SQUARES. 12in x 12in
SOLID COLORS SQUARES (the square in one solid color!). In the Shades of RED, BLUE, GREEN, PURPLE, PINK, YELLOW, and ORANGE. 
Granny square example

This is how I am doing it. Each blanket will have a color theme. If it is RED then that blanket will be made up of different shades of red. The blankets will be about 36in x 48in. 
My plan is donate them in December. I am starting now so I am able to donate as much as I can. 
If you are wanting to help you will mail me your items and I can add put it all together. Thank you all!

I created a registry to raise money for "Warming Hearts". Please take the time to check it out and spread the word. http://warminghearts.mydagsite.com/

I decided I am not doing all of them in granny squares but I am still sticking with the color themes. I got tired of doing granny squares after the first blanket :) You can still donate squares though and I will still put them together.
