Your quilt is beautiful and I'm quite sure you worked very hard on it, but I have to say this. Sadly, I have a couple of dear friends who suffer from recurring bouts with cancer and quite honestly, the very last thing that they want is to be reminded on a daily basis of their health issues. They HATE anything with a pink ribbon attached to it, sometimes they just want to forget!!! All of these women are very brave, far braver than I think I could ever be. So on a day when they're feeling "better" and trying to forget, just for awhile, the battles they're facing, seeing a quilt, or anything for that matter with the symbol of their illness can be a real downer. All of us who have made, or are thinking about making a gift for our friends who are suffering really need to keep this in mind. So make a quilt, make a pillow case make any kind of gift but make it joyful, not another reminder of the pain and suffering these brave ladies are already going through. I'm just saying...
