i think the lap quilts (any size between 48-60" x 60-70") are a great idea. they really are comfort quilts. i am making a lap quilt for my friend. she is a fashion designer and hosted a breast cancer survivor fashion show to celebrate bc survivors and all of her clothing featured some shade of pink all the way to purples. i am making this quilt as a surprise for her and since she loves seashells, i am using seashell fabric in colors from pink to purple.
that pillow idea sounds good and i never would of thought of that. since i have not volunteered at any bc treatment centers, i dont have a clear sense what is most needed by those going through treatment. perhaps visiting a bc treatment center or talking to a survivor can give you a good sense of what survivors would find most useful before you start your designing stage. as a bc supporter, i wear a variety of pink ribbons but probably would not carry a tote bag. i had an idea to make some pins to support bc survivors. i will probably still do so and this would involve fabric.
i havent seen much bc themed fabric that i have fallen in love with. i did see some loralie fabric with faces of women on it that i liked, i just need to locate some online to purchase to add to my friend's quilt. good luck with your designing. btw, i just ordered fabric from your shop. i cant wait to see it.
