I am a breast cancer survivor also, and was a private person with it...and I do not like the pink ribbons, I would much rather have a quilt made for me, from my sister, than one made for my illness...the ribbons is a constant reminder, in your face, of what you have, or had, and trust me, it stays with you anyway, but inside. Not something to have to look at daily. A pretty from a sister is my idea of a gift, and I have made a couple quilts for my sisters, that both died from cancers. I also prayed for each one as I sewed for them.
