This quilt is a prayer quilt. The lady it's being made for has cancer and her co-worker, an Elder at our church, asked that our Prayer Quilt Ministry make her one. The quilts are tied instead of quilted and each tie represents prayers having gone and continuing to go up for the individual we make them for. We've made about 235 in two years. There are about 5 of us who do this. We try to match the quilt material with the recipients interests/favorite colors. In this case - they lady loves tropical stuff. Don't know if you can tell or not, but some of the pink ribbon for cancer is in the quilt too. I'm going to tie this one with pink thread.
