I made a quilt for a friend that was going thru treatment the same time I did - neither of us liked being reminded we were going thru cancer treatment so the quilt I made her had no pink in it and my note said this quilt is to be used anywhere and every where she needed to feel a warm hug. It was okay to take it anywhere she wanted and if she wanted to have her kitty or puppy to cuddle with her that was okay too. She has survived her second round of treatment but her husband passed along the way - she said she still uses that quilt when she needs a warm hug.
