Members take the components and create finished quilts and return them to the guild for distribution. The guild\u2019s intent is that their quilts bring comfort, warmth and a smile to the recipients.<a href=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/road-2014\/meet-the-friendship-square-quilt-guild\/attachment\/kumfort-quilts-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1639\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1639\" alt=\"kumfort-quilts-2\" src=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/kumfort-quilts-2.png\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The guild\u2019s opportunity quilt that was on display at Road, <i>Beauty of Life 2014, <\/i>was hand appliqued and hand quilted.
