That is a wonderful quilt. Thank you for sharing it. My mom used to greet us in the morning with "This is the day that the Lord hath made." We would reply, "let us rejoices and be glad in it." Your quilt brought a good set of memories to mind.
I have given quilts to friends and family who were in their final stages. I was told they were a great help in easing the spirit, as well as being a comfortable topic for visitors and medical staff to chat about. 2 survivors pv over 5 year that I know of credit the quilts with giving them the strength to persevere. One of them was told she had only a month or 2 when we gave her a large scrappy quilt I had on hand. We gave another to a child yesterday. Being able to do this is a blessing in our lives, one which my husband and I are very pleased to be able to share.
