Had I been able to work on it non-stop, it probably wouldn't have taken me that long. I worked on several of these blocks while caring for my mother through her chemo-therapy, and then to distract myself the week of her funeral. It has seen me through my divorce, losing my home, and some very depressing moments in my life. How ironic that I finished it in a hotel room after being displaced from a house fire. The irony is that I found inspiration for this quilt from cathedral glass windows, and received much restoration of my spirit by working on it during rough times in my life.
